In this book, the author has written an awe-inspiring book for children about the colors which are the part of a young, Muslim girl’s every day life. Young readers learn about food, clothing, and other important elements of Islamic culture from a fictional, young, Muslim-girl character. Starting with the red of the prayer mat the girl’s father uses five time a day as he faces Mecca, through the silver of a shiny lantern which glows at night, to the blue of thehijab of the girl's mother wears. The captivating and rich illustrations of Mehrdokht Amini make this one of the best children’s books.
