In My Mosque

"This personable, sensory love letter to a range of children's mosque experiences will engage new learners and resonate with those already familiar." - Publishers Weekly (starred review)

"Joyful celebration of mosques around the world. . . Themes of family and friendship prevail, along with references to spirituality." - Providence Journal

"Joyful characters describe what happens in simple, poetic language. Both a celebration of and an introduction to the mosque."

In My Mosque draws readers into the Muslim house of worship to show how it is so much more than a place to pray. . . Aly's (The Proudest Blue, 2019) illustrations echo the warmth of Yuksel's text, depicting loving, happy communities, rich in diversity of all sorts. The striking use of geometric patterns found in Islamic art and architecture might inspire classroom art projects to complement a narrative study of houses of worship. - Booklist

"Young readers are welcomed to a mosque brimming with faithful family, friends, and community. Both text and art convey some tenets of Islam and emphasize the mosque's role as a place for faith and celebration." - Horn Book Magazine
