Author Visit: Khadijah VanBrakle’s Fatima Tate Takes the Cake
Local author Khadijah VanBrakle writes stories about characters, like her three daughters, who are both Black American and Muslim. Join the author to discuss her debut YA novel, Fatima Tate Takes the Cake. For a deeper discussion and more enjoyable experience, please read Fatima Tate Takes the Cake before the event and come ready with questions and comments for the author to hear!
“Fatima Tate wants to be a baker AND enjoy some innocent flirting with her hot friend Raheem—but her strict Muslim parents would never approve of either… Fatima must find the inner strength to blaze her own trail by owning her body, her choices, and her future. Combining the frank authenticity of Elizabeth Acevedo and the complex social dynamics of Ibi Zoboi, FATIMA TATE TAKES THE CAKE is a powerful coming-of-age story that gives a much-needed voice to young Black Muslim women.”
