Review Quotes:
"When rating the quality of children's books, educational experts look for distinctive
criteria: Is the book child centered? Does it emote kindness towards others, teaching
children about themselves while honoring diversity? Is there a representation of
children learning in a variety of circumstances and settings? Is the book engaging?
Is the book fun to read? Halimah Bashir wrote a book that distinctly covers every
important element that characterizes great children's books. "A Sense of Gratitude:
Exploring the Five Senses," is a must have for every library, elementary school, and
home.
--- Dr. Mai Abdul Rahman
"Do they have feet by which they walk? Do they have hands by which they grasp? Do they have
eyes by which they see? Do they have ears by which they listen..." Surah Araf 195.
Sister Halimah Bashir's book is a perfect beginning for instilling within our children an
understanding that the faculties and senses that we have been blessed with are a trust from
Allah. Our children, from a young age, should be taught how to honor this blessing that Allah
has given us. I am grateful to Allah that we have people in the community focusing on laying
the foundation for the tall building of faith and God-consciousness.
