Lessons:

This fun book takes the reader through a cultural dish that plays a huge part in the little girl’s life. Through the delicious samosa, she bonds with her dad during a basketball game, she celebrates with her extended family and cooks them with her parents. There are unfamiliar words used in this book that I had to google, (aloo, keema, chaat) and makes me wish there was a glossary. The text is written in rhyme and is mostly consistent. There is mention of ‘birthdays’ in this book, I would have preferred to be left out. Other than that, it definitely is a fun book that kids can relate to, specifically those that are familiar with samosas.

Welcome!

This is my cozy corner of the internet dedicated to Muslim Kid Literature.

I am on an endless search for faith-based books that captivate the hearts and minds of young Muslims. By offering detailed book reviews, parents, teachers, and librarians will have the opportunity to make informed decisions when investing in their child’s bookshelf.
