My Chinese Village takes young readers to the Xinjiang province of western China, seen through the eyes of a young Uyghur boy named 'Abd al-Hameed. He shares what life looks like in his village in the foothills of the Tien Shan mountains - the landscape, the people, the traditions, and the culture of China's Uyghur Muslim community.
A gentle, curiosity-building book that helps children understand that Muslims live and thrive in every part of the world - each community shaped by its own history, geography, and traditions. Part of the My Village series available at Cii Stores.
