This is a beautiful and touching story that educates youngsters about the cycle and circle of life. It teaches them about ethnic and religious diversity, about what Muslims believe and practice
and about the philosophy of Montessori education which seems to make learning fun and natural.'This beautifully illustrated, wisely told tale fills a much-needed gap on the bookshelves of
libraries, classrooms, and families with young children. It is at once a child's loving narration of her grandmother's final years and a fine presentation of a modern American Muslim family.
Both Muslims and mainstream Americans will enjoy it.' -Michael Wolfe, author of The Hadj and Taking Back Islam: American Muslims Reclaim Their Faith, and producer of the film, Muhammad: Legacy
of a Prophet
