The sequel to Golden Domes and Silver Lanterns: A Muslim Book of Colors, Crescent Moons and Pointed Minarets: A Muslim Book of Shapes absolutely lives up to how excellent the previous book was. This book serves as a brilliant introduction to the Islamic faith as well as Islamic art. The art is absolutely fabulous.
This is a great read for anyone looking to learn, or just to enjoy a lovely book about shapes and art and the ways that can tie into faith.

Such a lovely expression of faith though shapes, the illustrations are richly colored and engaging.

Richly colored illustrations teach little ones about geometry by pairing them with images important to the Muslim faith. Educational on two fronts for readers of all faiths! An end glossary and pronunciation guide along with an author's note on the use of geometry and shapes in Islamic art and architecture helps readers learn more.

A beautifully illustrated book for younger readers that explains the significance of various shapes in Islamic culture. I like how the illustrator tried to show the variety of different Muslims from around the world.
