Review:
This book is adorable. I love Zain and his broad imagination. Zain’s child-play and his voice come through the so authentically throughout the book. While Zain attends jumuah, you can see what he is thinking about playing his fun pretend game.
I love how the Imam is portrayed to gently emrace Zain’s imagination and meets him at his level rather than the stern Imam personalities we usually see in stories. This book is such a refreshing treat and relatable to energetic, holding themselves together during the khutbah. This would make a wonderful read-aloud for little Muslims.
