Happy Poetry Friday! Our Top Shelf pick today is Crescent Moons and Pointed Minarets. Bringing both shapes and Muslim worship to the picture book page, this work is an enriching masterpiece. From the rectangular mosque door to the octagon fountain, acts of worship and their setting in various countries are illuminated.
"Arch is the mihrab
that guides our way.
We stand and face it
each time we pray.
Relish this celebration with your readertotz! Happy Poetry Friday!
