Salaam World

Salaam World is a rhyming picture book about one word. Salaam is how Muslims greet each other, and it means peace. The book introduces that idea to the youngest readers in simple verse.

Samia Khan, a high school English teacher who lives near Chicago, wrote it. Teresa Abboud, an illustrator and animator who grew up in Lebanon, drew the pictures. Prolance publishes it as a large hardcover of 32 pages, and describes it as a book that fosters diversity and inclusiveness.
