Overview
A remarkable story, based upon the Qura'nic narrative, told in the detail and clarity it deserves. The Qur'an mentions Moses (Prophet Musa) more than any other prophet, ostensibly highlighting his remarkable status in Islam, as well as Judaism and Christianity. His story in the Qur'an is remarkably similar to the narrative known to Christians and Jews, with some notable omissions and astounding additions, such as his exchanges with the prophetic figure Al-Khidr. Written in a style appropriate for children and teenagers, while also with the aim of capturing adult readers too, this telling of his life offers more detail than any other book based on the Qur'anic story. Written by the well-known author and professional story-teller Mehded Maryam Sinclair, whose craft and ability to translate the holy texts for a modern audience are unmatched.

Reviews
Praise for WHEN WINGS EXPAND: The book had me weeping as I read its final pages... There were many things I learned about myself as I read this book; strength in the face of hopelessness, the importance of a family's love and support, and probably the most important, faith... I thoroughly enjoyed each moment spent in its world. Sinclair is adept at making the sorrow real but not painful. She leads the readers down a path of beautiful moments on a journey to acceptance and, ultimately, peace. - browngirlmagazine.com | Mehded Maryam Sinclair does an incredible job... As critical as I am as a reader, I found myself unexpectedly enjoying the book far more than I would have ever thought. It is definitely the mark of a great writer to be able to draw in readers accustomed to different styles and genres, and leave them longing for more. - The Salafi Feminist | I enjoyed this greatly and would recommend it for all age groups. - Sarah Farrukh, Alt Muslimah
