Overview
Islamic culture and the early-learning concept of opposites come together in this stunning companion to Golden Domes and Silver Lanterns.
From the warmth of burning incense to the coolness of summer rain, this richly illustrated book of opposites is a feast for the senses, celebrating Islamic culture and family togetherness through special occasions, big and small. Like Golden Domes and Silver Lanterns, Crescent Moons and Pointed Minarets, and One Sun and Countless Stars, this latest offering features Mehrdokht Amini's signature mixed-media illustrations and Hena Khan's rhyming read-aloud text and informative back matter. It is equally at home in the classroom and being read on a parent's lap.
