The Star Outside My Window
Read It. Borrow It. Share It...
However you use it, Thank You...
Written by our founder Onjali Q Raúf following the murder of her beloved aunt, Mumtahina 'Ruma' Jannat, The Star Outside My Window continues to be one of the ONLY middle grade children's novels highlighting the unending and direct impacts of Domestic Violence and Femicide upon children.
We are proud the story continues to be used by schools and women's refuges across the world, to help children understand the signs of Domestic Abuse. Thank you to everyone supporting our works by purchasing a copy of the book.

"I read in a library book once that stars can burn for millions and billions and even trillions of years. I hope that's true, because there's one star I don't ever want to stop burning..."
