BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3), GIFT
AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE
A Muslim child's parent has passed away, and these words of comfort help them negotiate the grief, and directs their focus to deeds they can do that will benefit the deceased parent. The child's faithful parent, Baba, has built a house, with the help of Allah, and the good things the child does, like smile and pray help to make that house nice for an eventual reunion.
A poem which feels very meditative, addresses the reader as You. I can see how it can help open discussion and is hopeful. Would certainly make a nice gift to a Muslim child who has lost a loved one. The characters are Islamic.
