BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3) - ESSENTIAL
AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE
A counting book, but so special. Each number is associated with a special activity - like you need 2 hands for Dua, and there are 5 cups of tea at Halaqa, and 8 figs saved for sahoor.
One Sun and Countless Stars is such a beautiful book! Amini's illustrations are brilliant, in both color and design. Khan is connecting the numbers to things with cultural and religious significance. The author's note and glossary were helpful. Oh - I have a Muslim friend with small children. I'm certainly buying a copy as a gift. Wonderful!
