"The Superheroes that Changed My Life", will be geared toward ages 8 and older but younger siblings are welcome:

"We often look up to role models such as Steve Jobs and Nelson Mandela, and even Superman! But what about our Holy Prophet (pbuh), his family and companions? Through a mix of storytelling and reflection, Amin brings historical figures to life.
