"Laila and Pesto the Fly" is the story of a young Muslim girl's interest in an unexpected topic that opens the door to an surprising lesson. When the idea to do something she had never thought of before flashes into her mind, Laila finds a new friend flying in to save the day!

"Not only is this an insightful story for children, but Rania's story is equally as inspiring! She is truly a blessing to not only the Muslim community, but to MWA as well," stated Schwartz.

After receiving her degree, Ms. Marwan worked as an assistant lecturer at the German University of Cairo teaching Human Resource Management, Leadership and Motivation, Staffing and Development, Introduction to Management. She is currently pursuing her PhD studies in Islamic Ethics.
