Laughing All the Way to the Mosque

Zarqa Nawaz (creator of the hit TV series Little Mosque on the Prairie) has always straddled two cultures. She finds herself agonizing about which sparkly earrings will ‘pimp out' her hijab, or flirting with the WalMart meat manager just to score the best Halal chicken just before Eid. Little Mosque on the Prairie's success brought Zarqa's edgy, irreverent, laugh-out-loud humour to the world. Now in her just-released book Laughing All the Way to the Mosque, Zarqa tells the sometimes absurd, sometimes challenging, and always funny stories of being Zarqa. Spend an evening with this delightful, sharp, witty storyteller, as she invites us into her world.
