Golden Domes and Silver Lanterns

Description

With breathtaking illustrations and informative text, Golden Domes and Silver Lanterns magnificently captures the world of Islam, celebrating its beauty and traditions for even the youngest readers. From a red prayer rug to a blue hijab, readers will learn about a different colour of the Muslim world on each spread with a young Muslim girl and her family as a guide. Sure to inspire questions and observations about world religions and cultures, it is equally at home in a classroom reading circle as it is being read to a child on a parent's lap.

Hena Khan is the author of Crescent Moons and Pointed Minarets, Like the Moon Loves the Sky and Night of the Moon, among many other books for children. Hena is a native of Rockville, Maryland, where she lives with her husband and their two sons.

"This gentle introduction to Muslim practices, dwelling on behaviors more than the extended teachings behind them, is a must for the very young."-School Library Journal
