“Art combines with poetry and short prose pieces all by creators from Mexico for a culturally specific but emotionally universal literary experience. Stories are everywhere; you simply need to find them. Perhaps as one poet suggests in ‘The Lemon Tree’: ‘the tree/is older than you are/and you might find stories/in its branches.’ Edited by Naomi Shihab Nye.”

The Teaching Against Islamophobia resources were developed with funding support from the Law Foundation of BC, and the Centre for Comparative Muslim Studies at SFU.
