From The Critics:

Books for Keeps
This is a superb book, with evocative full page illustrations sweeping across each double page spread. A simple but equally evolcate text in rhyme, A very welcome dual language title.

The Guide to Literacy Resources 2002
A very special book and extremely timely. Beautiful illustrations combined with simple but engaging text.

Best Books 2002
The Swirling Hijaab, a celebration of the Muslim faith, is a joy of a book.
