Going to Mecca by Na'ima B Robert
This is a window on to a sacred journey for Muslims the world over - beautifully described and illustrated for younger children.
Lyrical, poetic text and bold mixed-media illustrations combine to capture the ethos and excitement of this important religious practice and how its rituals are related to the stories of the Prophet Ibrahim and his familyBooktrust The stunningly illustrated book conveys clearly the rites involved in making Hajj. This is a 10/10 read. Nayu's Reading Corner Engaging and vibrant artwork. This book would be suitable to support the teaching and learning of pupils enquiring in to the Hajj. Religious Education Primary News A beautiful book. School Librarian 'a great introduction to the meaning and reality of the Hajj to Muslims. Non-Muslim children and adults alike will learn a great deal from it, and Muslim readers of any age will rejoice in seeing such a crucial element of their faith portrayed so beautifully and respectfully.'
