All about shapes with examples of them in Islamic traditions. #childrensbook
#AuldLangReads Day 10: each shape in this concept book has taken on a sacred significance: from the rectangle door of the mosque to the triangle in the mimbar‘s set of stairs. There is a profound and worshipful tone to the narrative that does not pontificate but invites the reader in, regardless of what religious denomination one believes in. #Believe.

This was so good! The art is fabulous. The story is a wonderful intro to shapes, Islamic art, and faith. Definitely worth the read!
This beautifully illustrated picture book takes readers through Muslim traditions using shapes: “Octagon is a fountain, it‘s water so blue. I wash before prayers and make my wudu.”
A glossary, pronunciation guide and author‘s note at that back offer more details about Muslim traditions and life.
