Abstract	:	America’s military involvement in the Middle East along with globalization, Islamophobia, and the increase in the Arab and Muslim population in the United States render our children’s ability to understand the region’s people and cultures of vital importance. Such understanding is vital given the frequent vilification of Arabs, Muslims, and residents of Middle Eastern countries in general in our mass media and pop culture. Fortunately, narratives can be effective tools in helping to prevent or reverse the development of stereotypical views of others and can contribute to the formation of positive self-images in minority youngsters.
