Why Should
Why Should My Child Read This Book?

This four-book collection invites children to notice the beauty in Allah’s creation—through color, shape, number, and relationships. One Sun and Countless Stars earns our gold star for capturing the simple beauty of our traditions. The third in this collection of highly recommended books focuses on counting objects as they relate to our tradition. The book gently invites children to build a habit of noticing the blessings Allah ﷻ has bestowed upon us—some we can count and many that are beyond counting.
