This is a lovely introduction to Islamic Art appreciation for children ages seven and up. It's beautifully illustrated and the text is lyrical, poetic and brief. It gives enough information to whet a reader's appetite in anticipation of learning more about the arabesques, mosaics, domes and other motifs that characterize art from the Muslim world throughout history. It also weaves some history into the text with each page, whether that is in talking about Baghdad, Samarkand or Spain.
This is an excellent way to begin familiarizing your child with Islamic artistic heritage, something they won't get in school...unless of course you homeschool.
