Yan’s Hajj: A Journey of a Lifetime by Fawzia Gilani, illustrated by Sophie Burrows. PICTURE BOOK. Islamic Foundation (Kube), 2018. 9780860376231
BUYING ADVISORY: EL - ADVISABLE
AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE
Yan keeps saving up his money to go on Hajj, but each time he starts the journey he finds other people who need the money more than he does. When he become so old that he gives up his dream, a miracle fostered by his earlier good deeds comes back to bless him.
What a beautiful look at the principles of Islam framed around a journey for Hajj. I will add this to my own more informational books about Islam for students to get a greater depth of feeling.
