I love children's books that introduce kids to different cultures, but I think this one--while beautiful--missed the mark a little bit. While I understand there's a word limit in picture books, I think some of the definitions should have been worked into the story itself, instead of treated as an aside.

A color book about much more. Items important in the authors' Muslim faith are described on the pages with beautiful illustrations, and defined in a glossary at the back. A lovely book that should be included in all elementary school libraries.

A simple book that would help children to get to know colors and objects related to Islam. The illustration is cute!

A sweet and short little children’s book I checked out from the library to read to two of my violin students (ages 3 and 4) and their families celebrating Ramadan right now.
Lovely illustrations, and also loved that it was a color book (every new phrase/concept was introduced through a new color). There is a glossary of terms used in the book and how to pronounce them (i.e. Fanoos [fun-OOSE] a Middle Eastern lantern made of tin and glass), and is a perfect fit for what I was looking for!
