August 2022: A Muslim Girl's Guide to Life's Big Changes

[From a parent's point of view]

This book is a quick reference to not miss the changes our girls will be facing soon, especially when they hit puberty (mom gets emo🥺)

The book so much covers every aspects for us to pay attention to. 60pages and simple sentences.

I quite wonder why the author put Friends and School in the 1st chapter, but I guess during this age, friends and school are the biggest chunk in their life.

The book also touched about social media and how you spend time on it. Today's socmed is far more challenging.

May Allah always guide us and get us through this phase with ease. Ameen.

This book is SO wholesome and heartwarming! I absolutely loved it—not just for myself, but also because I kept thinking about how perfect it would be for my future daughter, InshaAllah. 💕

It’s such a cute and thoughtful guide for young Muslim girls navigating the big changes in life, from puberty to faith, friendships, and emotions. The way it’s written is super easy to understand, supportive, and full of Islamic wisdom. It doesn’t just explain things in a basic way—it gives real, practical advice while making you feel safe and reassured.

One thing I adored was how it balanced modern life with Islamic teachings. It encourages girls to embrace their faith confidently while also acknowledging the struggles they might face. It’s like having a kind, understanding older sister give you advice without judgment. 🥹

Honestly, I wish I had this book when I was younger! It’s the kind of book that every Muslim girl should have growing up. Whether you’re reading it for yourself or thinking about sharing it with a younger sister, cousin, or even your future daughter, it’s such a sweet, valuable read. 10/10! 🌸✨

Between the ages of 10 and 16
Yeah I'm still not telling yall
You actually think I'm 16? No, why would I read this book if I were 16?

ANYWAYS
This is a great book. If you're a Muslim girl around my age, go find it and go read it. Although there may be things you don't agree on, like me. Well then either go search it up or go ask your mom. I did neither though 💀

I am a teen and found this book very unsympathetic, I felt accused of doing or thinking of doing some of the things in the book, just because I'm a teen. the whole big sister thing is sweet if it's from your own sister but I wasn't getting it. it was not helpful
