Product Description
A mariachi singer's van breaks down outside a mosque — and nothing is ever the same. A beautifully rhyming Islamic picture book for kids ages 4+ by Wendy Diaz.
One unexpected stop. One beautiful sound. A journey that was meant to be all along.
When José and his travelling mariachi band’s van breaks down on the road, they find themselves stopped outside a mosque. As they wait, an unfamiliar sound drifts through the air — soft, steady, and unlike anything they’ve heard before. Someone tells him: “That’s no música. They are reciting Coran.”
That single moment of understanding sets José on a journey that will change his life forever.
The Mariachi Muslim is a vibrant, rhyming Islamic picture book for children ages 4 and up, written by award-winning Puerto Rican-American author, poet, and educator Wendy Díaz. Told in flowing verse and bursting with cultural richness, this one-of-a-kind story beautifully bridges Latino and Muslim identities — showing young readers that the path to faith can begin in the most unexpected of places.
What your child will take away:
- A sense of wonder at how life’s unexpected moments can become turning points
- Appreciation for the beauty and power of the Quran
