Review:
This clever read which is great
for beginners, introduces readers into the world of a little girl and her
faith. Red rugs for prayer, golden domes on the mosque and orange for creative
leafy vines made with henna, are what this young girl sees within her faith.
Gifts, dates and black ink for writing are part of what is shared in this
faith. Young readers will find beautifully illustrated pages that share various
colors and even learn a few new words. The back pages share the definitions for
a better understanding. Parents and teachers can discuss religion in other
cultures.
