We fly on a dream to visit the Art of Islam!

What an imaginative introduction for kids and adults to a history of art, architecture, AND geography!

Illustrations are splendid and invite readers to want to learn even more. ( )

This charming picture book follows an unnamed young girl narrator as she lies in bed recalling the art and architecture of the Islamic world. The writing is enchanting, with a lyrical prose that is inviting and soothing. The illustrations are phenomenal, with large spreads such as the depiction of the Taj Mahal in all its glory and with close ups of details such as tiles in a Turkish mosque. This is a great start for introducing children to other cultures and/or artistic styles. An additional bonus is that the book is bilingual with English as the standard language and a variety of options for the second language ranging from French to Urdu. ( )
