A beautiful book about shapes found in Islamic art and architecture. However, some of the faces of the characters were a little on the creepy side for me.

An #Ownvoices book, that shows readers beautiful shapes and concepts/apparel found throughout a Muslim family's day-to-day practices and visits to Mosque (great for early literacy-shape/pattern recognition). Wonderful to feature (and normalize) year-round, especially around Ramadan and Eid. I would recommend using 3d shapes/manipulatives to further show illustrate how we notice shapes around us.

I loved this book! This early concept book was a lovely read! It introduces Muslim faith/culture using simple shapes with Islamic terminology. It's vividly illustrated, and includes a glossary and author's note on shapes in Islamic art add a sweet touch to this stunning picture book.

The sequel to Golden Domes and Silver Lanterns: A Muslim Book of Colors, Crescent Moons and Pointed Minarets: A Muslim Book of Shapes absolutely lives up to how excellent the previous book was. This book serves as a brilliant introduction to the Islamic faith as well as Islamic art. The art is absolutely fabulous.
This is a great read for anyone looking to learn, or just to enjoy a lovely book about shapes and art and the ways that can tie into faith.
