Our Review
Why I like it:
- It’s a board book which goes perfect with the age group the book is aimed for.
- There’s a little lift the flap activity at the back.
- It introduces many concepts/words such as – shahada, salah, ramadan, hajj, and zakah.
- It’s a rhyming book so even if the little ones can’t read yet, they’ll be sining the song.
- The illustrations show so much diversity in the ethnicities and abilities.
Things that could be improved:
- I didn’t like the word “treasure” Ramadan. It’s a little thing and doesn’t effect the story. But since the book is aimed for toddlers an easier word like “love” would have been better.
- Some of the parents didn't like "Just To Please Allah". I couldn't think of an alternative so I'm not complaining. But just wanted to put out there that a few parents had an issue with the wording.
Activities:
- Talk to your children about the 5 pillars, and have them draw a picture for each (don’t forget to hang it up!)
- Talk to your children about the diversity seen the children. Talk about how they are all the same and how they are different. Have them guess where they think the children are from based on their clothing.
- Watch the video for the book on Youtube
Overall:
I liked the book and would recommend it to parents of babies and toddlers!
