Golden Domes and Silver Lanterns: A Muslim Book of Colors

24 pp. | Chronicle | July, 2012 | Trade ISBN 978-0-8118-7905-7 $17.99
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Mehrdokht Amini. A child describes the religious and cultural artifacts that define Islam for her family. Her grandfather wears a white kufi; she and her dad face Mecca on a red prayer rug. The book's strength is in the saturated colors of the stylized art and the brief introduction to Muslim culture. The rhyming text is unremarkable, but this child's view of Islam should prove useful. Glos.
