Description
Book SynopsisRaisah and the Boat Trip takes readers on an adventure at sea, learning that it is a gift to mankind.
Trade ReviewThis story follows Raisah and her family on a special boat trip. It is lyrical in text. Each page spread has one side where different parts of the journey are described followed by a Qur'anic ayat that coincides with the trip. When we have so many books that try to stay away from 'preachy' content, I truly appreciate what this book has to offer. We need Islamic books that aren't afraid to cite religious texts as a way to incorporate them into the story. This book can be a great tool to discuss the marvelous creations of Allah Almighty and encourage the little ones to be more observant of their surroundings. I'm so glad we have this book in our collection! -
MuslimKidsBookNookI've seen this book reviewed and promoted on social media. It is about a family's trip out on a boat interwoven with what they see and ayats from the Quran. There are seven ayats from the Quran included in the 28-page book and the surah number and ayat are sourced. It can be read as a simple straightforward story, or the interspersed ayats can be paused for and discussed. As a teacher, librarian, and parent, you are going to reach for this book quite often. It is a book that can be used in storytimes about Allah's creation, the ocean, science, experiences, and the signs that help us know Allah swt. And for that reason, I wish the book was larger. It is great for bedtime.. - Islamic School Librarian
