Crescent Moons and Pointed Minarets is one of my absolute favorite Ramadan stories. It is suitable for ages 2 and up, with its lovely rhyme and vibrant pictures. (I love how it is styled in the old Arab art form! It just adds to the book’s character) The book teaches the kids their shapes, while relating each shape to an Islamic theme. Such an awesome way to have the kids notice their surroundings with a new “Islamic” perspective.

My daughter got very excited as soon as she saw the book because it resembles the colors one, and she quickly went through it to find the little girl. The illustrations are absolutely gorgeous. There are so many ways to educate a child by reading this book, colors, shapes, math, objects, etc. I especially love the diversity of people and places displayed. It was nice being able to tell my daughter that the images were of Muslims in Africa, or Eastern Europe, etc. Highly recommend books by this author.

Gorgeous, lovely, and ENGAGING book for my kiddo! So grateful to have amazing Islamic books such as this one! One of my favorite authors for kids books! :)

We have the first book, Golden Domes and Silver Lanterns, and so I was so excited to see this one. It did not disappoint! Wonderful book with such beautiful pictures! So happy to have added this to our collection.

I have been teaching high school students and leading professional development sessions about Islam since 2005 and believe it or not this children’s book makes for an amazing introduction to the vastness of the “Islamic World.” With valuable vocabulary, set to beautiful pictures this book can serve as a gateway to religious pluralism for children 5 to 95!

Wow such beautiful illustrations!!! Exactly what we need more for our kids to look at ... I will be getting this for my family for Eid

For those who want children to grow up knowing not all Muslims are terrorists, this book introduces youngsters to shapes using Islamic words ( with pronunciations and definitions at the end of the book) and little poems. I gave this book to a Catholic mother, and she loved it.

I love this book, my son does too. I bought 2 extra books, one for my mom's classroom and another as a gift for a girl in her class who is a refugee from Afghanistan and really likes to read.

Love this book. Beautiful illustrations throughout. My niece loved this for her birthday.

Amazing book, lovely visuals and prose. Would definitely recommend for all kids.

Such a beautiful book! Well written and gorgeous illustrations! My 3 year old loves it

great story & illustrations. our kids love it.

My daughter really enjoyed henna Khan's other book golden domes and silver lanterns so had to purchase this one. Definitely wasn't disappointed. I like the way it's written and the illustrations are different to other books so maybe that's why it draws you in. I like that this is a hardback book.
