Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

PreS-Gr 3-This beautifully illustrated picture book, with its straightforward text, goes a long way to gently inform readers about a religion and sector of society many of them outside the faith of Islam might not encounter. Yuksel follows a young boy as he goes to his mosque on Friday, the holy day for Muslims. The perspective remains that of a child. In the mosque are rooms for prayer, meeting with fellow worshipers, rooms to gather food from food drives and other charity events, and even places for the children to play. Their prayers focus on unity among all people, and peace, love, and joy for all. They believe that, although religions may differ, we all come from the same creator. The artwork takes its cues from Middle Eastern motifs and was created digitally using scans of washes, inks, textures, and patterns. Arabic is used in certain places and those phrases are explained in the generous back matter of the book. Pair this with David Macaulay's Mosque for a detailed, architectural look at these spaces. VERDICT This marvelous, welcoming book on mosques, Muslims, and Islam is a must, offering foundational knowledge on the world's second largest religion.-Joan Kindig, James Madison Univ., Harrisonburg, VAα(c) Copyright 2011.

"Joyful characters describe what happens in simple, poetic language. Both a celebration of and an introduction to the mosque."
— Kirkus Reviews

In My Mosque draws readers into the Muslim house of worship to show how it is so much more than a place to pray. . . Aly’s (The Proudest Blue, 2019) illustrations echo the warmth of Yuksel’s text, depicting loving, happy communities, rich in diversity of all sorts. The striking use of geometric patterns found in Islamic art and architecture might inspire classroom art projects to complement a narrative study of houses of worship. — Booklist

A Wonderful Invitation

Reviewed in the United States on April 1, 2022

Verified Purchase

The opening of IN MY MOSQUE counters the idea that Islam is monolithic. Hatem Aly’s illustrations are stunning and do a phenomenal job representing the “rainbow of colors” and abled and disabled bodies of Muslims. Author M.O. Yuksel’s warm welcoming text is an invitation to everyone to step inside the world of Islam, learn about what makes the religion unique, and to appreciate what people of all faiths can find in common. Through the specifics of the rituals depicted in the book, the author exemplifies the universals shared among us all; the need for ritual and spirituality and the importance of family and community. I especially love the page when the protagonist describes getting distracted during prayer; so many children can relate! The back matter provides a great resource to learn more about the religion of Islam, prayer in mosques, and some of the many famous historic mosques throughout the world. This book is a must-have to help dispel misinformation about Islam and to uplift children of all faiths.

This is such a beautiful book. My kids and I love it. I think it's good for Muslim children, to let them see their own culture represented, especially if (like us), you lie in a community where there are very few Muslims. It's also good for anyone interested in learning a little bit about a mosque, to foster understanding. Highly recommended!

Stunning book!

Reviewed in the United States on March 25, 2021

The primary word that arises for me when I think about this book is "breathtaking." Both the language and the illustrations create feelings of immense joy and peace. The Islamic faith is so often misrepresented and weaponized in the United States. IN MY MOSQUE provides a necessary and compassionate exploration into the truth of Islam, as well as glimpses into the inside of actual mosques. I was absolutely transported when I read I read this book, and my interest in visiting mosques and learning more has definitely increased. If that is true for me as an adult, imagine how it will be for children!

This is a picture book that is elevated to magic by the perfect pairing between the gorgeous text and jaw-dropping illustrations. I could honestly live inside this book. :-) A MUST read!

What a beautiful book! This book filled me with peace and light. I have never been inside a mosque, but I have been in temples and cathedrals and have felt a closeness and connection to divinity. From this book, I can imagine that I would have similar feelings when visiting a mosque. The sense of community portrayed is wonderful. Hugs from aunties, passing out prayer mats, the chanting, the serving together—the is such a sense of connection portrayed in this book. The illustrations are gorgeous! Bright, colorful, patterned—it really is stunning! Reading this book I felt such a connection and sameness to Muslims. There is more that unites us, than divides us. I really hope you’ll give this book a look!

This Book is Phenomenal! An Accurate Depiction and Story of a Mosque

This book is beautiful. The message is sweet and true; the illustrations will wow you! I love how Hatem has a different mosque from different parts of the world on each page. The pictures showed children any kid will connect with. Mindy's story shows children enjoying the things they do in their mosque and then captures the feelings of warmth for all faiths. It is just what this world needs right now. A book that showcases how much we all are alike!
I would highly recommend this book to everyone. Teachers and all children who want to learn about empathy and kindness.

A great resource for those who want to learn more about Islam and mosques

Reviewed in the United States on April 7, 2021

Verified Purchase

Having visited many mosques around the world, it was great to see them visualized in the book. The author's lyrical writing style coupled with the gorgeous illustrations really capture the reader's attention. With a growing Muslim population in the U.S., there have been many new mosques under construction as well as those that some have tried to burn down unfortunately. I hope that children and their parents who are unfamiliar with their Muslim neighbors or who are curious about what takes place inside a mosque will read this book and understand that we have more in common than what sets us apart. I am looking forward to more books from this author.

A gentle introduction to Islam for children

Reviewed in the United States on March 29, 2021

Verified Purchase

Not only a beautiful, colorful book, but one that resonates with the joy and the happiness that a religion can bring. It certainly fills a much needed space in the spectrum of children's literature. Bringing a refreshing light on a controversial topic, it should serve as a starting point for discussion and research. Notes in the back of the book, All About Mosques, Glossary, Author's note and the list of historic mosques were a splendid addition.
