There's no compromise
Safiyah Kareem is a 10 year Indian Muslim girl, a third generation immigrant, who lives in the UK. Safiyah takes you through a year of her life and she allows you see the struggles and challenges that she faces in her day to day life. Being a Muslim adds on to the extra dilemmas as not everyone understands why she does what she does, especially living in a society where Islam is misunderstood and misinterpreted.
She's learning to fit in with the Western cultures, whilst maintaining her Eastern roots, but she knows one thing for sure, she'd never compromise her religion, Islam. A suitable read for all, but there are some topics that may deem sensitive to children below the age of 10. It is suitable for both Muslims and non Muslims as it provides a great platform to tolerate the different belief's one has and allows children to learn about topics correctly, rather through curiosity.
