Golden Domes and Silver Lanterns: A Muslim Book of Colors (A Muslim Book Of Concepts) Hardcover – Picture Book, June 6, 2012

I am nearly as much of a novice toward Islam as my 2-year old son. This is the ideal first book to introduce both of us to the Islamic culture. Upon opening the first pages, I was stunned to see such beautiful and colorful artwork - it makes sense, since at it's bare bones, this is a color primer. Each color is delightfully displayed and introduces an aspect of Islamic way of life - the blue of her mother's hijab... and the brown color of dates. The lyrical quality of the text was easy to follow and simple enough to catch the interest of a rambunctious toddler. It has detail, without flooding too many concepts on a young brain. There is no special story, just follows a little Muslim girl as she shows us a bit of her normal life. It's so simple, yet powerful enough to be relatable.

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! :)

Buy this book now. Every Muslim kid should have it.

This book is an instant classic for us.The colors, the story, the easy reading, all great for 3 year olds!

My daughter loves this book. The colors and illustrations are gorgeous. She identifies with the little girl in the story and likes to make up side stories about what she's doing on each page. We are not Muslim, but that hardly matters to her. We wanted to make sure to expose her to different cultures and this fits the bill perfectly. There's even a little glossary in the back of the book that gives the pronunciation and a short definition of some terms non-Muslims might not be familiar with.

What a wonderful book, and suitable for ages 2 and up. My 7 year old and 4 year old were completely entertained while I read it to them, and pointed out the fabulous illustrations that they recognized.It is written in perfect rhyme and each page is a different color describing a specific Muslim concept.The book is perfect for introducing Islamic themes to any child, even ones with no previous Islamic background. This would be a great diverse book for a pre-school or Montessori to have!

I bought this book for a friend about to have his first child. A daughter and he was so giddy. Unlike most people instead of clothes or bottles I buy books and music for a new born because I know hearing is intense as ababy and a great way for parents to bond with a newborn. Also Books can be used for years to come. My freind was surprised I found muslim childerens books for him and him and his wife were astounded by the art as was I. I can't wait till the little one grows up and can see and understand this book herself until then her dad says he will enjoy reading it to her every night before he leaves for work.Side NoteI have severe dyslexia so if spell check didn't catch the mistakes and neither did I. I appologize. Another reason I give books is because as a child i was told I was stupid becasue in second grade i could barely read. Then I transfered continents and schools. I took a special test and found out I had severe dyslexia once I learned how to read with I went to from an F to reading to an A in less that 8 weeks. To this day even though words still shift I love to read up to 4 books a week.

LOVE THIS BOOK. It's really cute. The story line is adorable - I love the rhymes - love the pictures. The only reason I'm docking a star is because I REALLY which it was a board book. I love it so much I have to keep it away from my 8 month old while reading to him, otherwise he'll chew it up. But I'd totally but this again in a heartbeat!

Really lovely book for 2-4 yr olds

This is one of our favorite books for Muslim children. Ordered more as gifts. An absolute must have and the price is great.

Illustrations are amazing with great use of certain color palates. Perfect rhyming verses. Red, blue, green, yellow, brown, orange, purple, golden, silver, black and white are the colors covered in this book.

No tiene mucho texto pero introduce los colores en inglés a la par que los relaciona con elementos de la cultura islámica.

As family we spend a lot of money on children books. I always have difficulty in finding attractive religious books for my 4 year old daughter. She loved this one instantaneously. The visuals are well-done, rhymes are beautiful. Definitely a perfect educational, inspirational book.
