crescent moons and pointed minarets: a muslim book of shapes by Hena Khan Ill. Mehrdokht amini

7/8/2020

This is more than just a simple book of shapes. The wonderful illustrations are a perfect compliment to the text which is a window into the world of Islam and the beautiful symmetry of it's places of worship. A book that can be used to simultaneously explain simple shapes to young children and show them the colours and purpose of the shapes in the Muslim world. Through simple but evocative text, highlighted by colourful and intricate images, this book is a lovely way to help younger ones of non Muslim faith become more culturally aware.  I'll be adding the companion book Golden Domes and Silver Lanterns: a Muslim book of colors to my library shelves soon!
