"Inshallah you find wonder in birds as they fly. Inshallah you are loved, like the moon loves the sky." With vibrant illustrations and prose inspired by the Quran, this charming picture book is a heartfelt and universal celebration of a parent's unconditional love.
As the pages go by, so do the years, and readers watch as a baby becomes a child and learns to find wonder in simple places, show kindness where it is needed, and find comfort and love in the arms of her family. This lyrical and heartwarming picture book by Hena Kahn, award-winning author of Golden Domes and Silver Lanterns, celebrates a mother's love for her children.
"Debuting illustrator Saffa Khan creates vibrant ink and digital spreads in sunset tints striated with blues and greens.... Thoughtfully, a spread that accompanies the words 'Inshallah you travel/ to thrilling new places' shows children, including one using a wheelchair, playing make believe instead of on a picturesque overseas trip. It’s a view of a childhood focused not just on well-being, but on hope — to 'count all your blessings' and 'find wonder' — as well." — Publishers Weekly
