Fawzia Gilani-Williams is a British scholar of Islamic children's literature.[1][2] She is also an author of children's literature as 'mirror books', an approach to writing and storytelling that reflects visibility for readers in story.[3] A significant number of her children's books are Islamic adaptations of Western tales, often featuring Muslim characters in caring interaction with each other and with Hebrew or Hindu characters.[4][5]

Awards

Her children's book Yaffa and Fatima: Shalom, Salaam,[6] illustrated by Chiara Fedele, received a Sydney Taylor Book Award in 2018 from the Association of Jewish Libraries.[7]
