Mindful Muslim Review

This heartwarming book earns our gold star by capturing the sheer joy in childrens’ faces as they play and pray in their mosques—a home away from home—worshiping God, exchanging loving embraces with the elders of their family and community, and working together to help those in need. The details provided in the back, such as the All About Mosques section and glossary, serve as an excellent introduction to mosques. The additional descriptions of mosques around the world can be used to increase a child’s geographic understanding of the Muslim world.
