Reader’s Review

Gorgeous illustrations of the different colours of different Muslim objects from a red prayer mat to a blue hijab to brown dates. Young children will delight in the pictures, although the book does give heavy emphasis oto the material aspects of religious ceremonies such as Eid.

To look out for

A young girl celebrates Eid by decorating her hand with henna and receiving a doll. It is worth discussing with readers that celebration Eid through gifts and decorations is only a small part of the true meaning of the occasion.
