A hilarious memoir about growing up Muslim from the creator of Little Mosque on the Prairie Zarqa Nawaz has always straddled two cultures. Shes just as likely to be agonizing over which sparkly earrings will pimp out her hijab as to be flirting with the Walmart meat manager in a futile attempt to secure halal chicken the day before Eid. Little Mosque on the Prairie brought Zarqas own laugh-out-loud take on her everyday culture clash to viewers around the world. And now, in Laughing All the Way to the Mosque, she tells the sometimes absurd, sometimes challenging, always funny stories of being Zarqa in a western society. From explaining to the plumber why the toilet must be within sitting arms reach of the water tap (hint: it involves a watering can and a Muslim obsession with cleanliness down there) to urging the electrician to place an eye-height electrical socket for her father-in-laws epilepsy-inducing light-up picture of the Kaaba, Zarqa paints a hilarious portrait of growing up in a household where, according to her father, the Quran says its okay to eat at McDonaldsbut only if you order the McFish.
