Synopsis

Read, listen, and sing along to the timeless poetry of togetherness and diversity in this new songbook by Dawud Wharnsby. Beautifully illustrated throughout by Shireen Adams, and with a free audio CD, children and adults will be inspired and absorbed for hours.

Smiles, warm and shining, like the sun upon our faces.Hope as rich and green as the trees of an oasis.The colours of Islam bloom in so many places,So many different colours of Islam.

Fill the world with colour, paint it everywhere you go.Paint everything you see, and tell everyone you know.Qur'an will be your paint, and your brush will be iman,So fill the world with colour, every colour of Islam.

Reviews

K-Gr 2—In this collection of nine brightly illustrated songs about Islam, one of the selections, "We've Scanned the Sky," is tied to a specific religious holiday (Ramadan). The rest, however, are more general in nature. The colorful artwork enhances the meaning of the songs. The diversity represented in the pictures (cultural, ethnic, etc.) is particularly appropriate. The book includes a glossary of most of the Arabic terms used; there is no complete glossary with pronunciation guides. This title fills a great need for children's books celebrating Islamic religious practice, and it does it nicely. A CD of the songs with percussion based accompaniment is included. It will be most appreciated by Muslim library patrons.—Kristin Anderson, Columbus Metropolitan Library System, OH
