With divorce and remarrying on the rise within Islamic communities in America, the book Stepmoms & Numbers, details the story of a Muslim stepparent and stepdaughter using the premise of counting to demonstrate love for family. A nearly 3-year-old Salama doesn't believe she knows anything about numbers nor does she understand why she sometimes has to stay in a new house with the stranger who married her dad. With the help of her stepmom, Salama begins to appreciate the advantages of having more people in her life caring for her, and she learns how numbers play a part in this experience.
