1 y separately published work icon Maymoona's Moon : A Special Eid Story Razeena Omar Gutta , Zayneb Haleem (illustrator), Richmond : Bright Light , 2024 27029582 2024 single work picture book children's

'Eid-al-Fitr is a joyous time of year for Muslims. It marks the end to Ramadan, a holy month of fasting, praying and deep spirituality – so the build-up to Eid is exciting and exuberant. Families come together to celebrate with delicious feasts and gifts, but sighting the crescent moon is the first sign that Eid can begin. In this gorgeous story about anticipation, celebration and tradition, a young girl called Maymoona – self-proclaimed future astronaut – cleverly finds a way to be the first to see the crescent moon in the sky, and to announce that Eid has begun.' (Publication summary)

2 y separately published work icon Hana's Hundreds of Hijabs Razeena Omar Gutta , Manal Mirza (illustrator), Boston : Barefoot Books , 2022 25897906 2022 single work picture book children's

'Hana has a humongous collection of hijabs and accessories – and her hijab is always styled superbly. But when her overflowing collection gets a little out of hand, Hana knows something needs to be done . . . and comes up with a clever plan for sharing her talents and possessions with her community! Young makers will chuckle along with this humorous tale of creative problem-solving and learning to help others.'
