"[Like the Moon Loves the Sky is] a peaceful incantation. It's a
view of a childhood focused not just on well-being, but on hope--to
'count all your blessings' and 'find wonder'--as well."--Publishers
Weekly, starred review
"[A] stunning visual statement celebrating the values of community,
wonder, and love... [Like the Moon Loves the Sky is a] love letter,
a rarity in its lightness of hand... one that parents, especially
Arabs, will cherish bringing into their bedtime
routines."--Booklist
"A bedtime story that reassures children that they are loved...
[Like the Moon Loves the Sky is a] book for Muslim families to
introduce religious traditions to young children and for non-Muslim
families who wish to teach diversity and religious
acceptance."--School Library Journal
"This beautiful, sweet, heartfelt message of love and hope for a
child will resonate with many."--Kirkus Reviews
