Gorgeous and Perfect, Dec 15 2006
I have been searching for ages for a book that isn't just an overload of info about Islam, but one that children can relate to through stories. I found it in this one. It is beautifully written and wonderfully illustrated and is perfect for the age group I work with. It presents not only understanding of Islam, but also other valuable life lessons, and the poem in the front is beautiful. I loved it!

A unique book for all kinds of children, May 3 2000
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Muslim Child (Hardcover)
Having read Muslim Child, I really think it could be titled "Child". It's for anyone. I've never seen a book that deals with issues of faith in such a way. As a Catholic I could completely identify with the feelings of the kids in the stories. It really made me appreciate the similarities between our respective religions. I think it's this author's best book.

Not only for muslim children, Feb 14 2006
By Anila - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Muslim Child: Understanding Islam Through Stories and Poems (Hardcover)
This book is so informative and well-written it should be in every muslim house. However, this book is not only very good for muslim children, it is also an excellent book for non-muslim children to read and learn more about islam. It can be used as an excellent tool in a classroom to dispel any misconceptions non-muslim children may carry against their muslim classmates. They will be able to learn more about prayer, fasting, eid and other things that their muslim classmates and friends follow in their lives.
