About the author
Hena Khan: Hena Khan is a Pakistani American author of children's and middle-grade books, widely loved for stories that place Muslim families, faith, and culture warmly at the center of the page. She grew up in Rockville, Maryland, where she still lives with her family, and recalls rarely seeing her own Pakistani American Muslim life reflected in the books of her childhood, a gap her work has helped to fill. After earning an MA in International Affairs from George Washington University, she worked as a writer and editor before turning to children's literature. Her picture books include Golden Domes and Silver Lanterns: A Muslim Book of Colors, Crescent Moons and Pointed Minarets: A Muslim Book of Shapes, Night of the Moon: A Muslim Holiday Story, Under My Hijab, and It's Ramadan, Curious George, titles that introduce young readers to Ramadan, Eid, prayer, and Islamic art in an approachable way. In middle-grade fiction she is known for Amina's Voice and its sequel Amina's Song, as well as More to the Story and the Zara's Rules series. Amina's Voice was named a best book of 2017 by The Washington Post, Kirkus Reviews, and NPR, while Amina's Song won the 2022 Asian/Pacific American Award for Children's Literature. Across more than two decades of writing, her recurring themes are friendship, community, and family.
