How Does Allah Look? (Children's First Questions) Paperback – 13 Feb. 2015

Review of Emma Apple's Questions about Allah booksAfter umming and ah-ing for a while I decided to go ahead and buy these books for my 4 year who has been asking similar questions about Allah.They are a little expensive for what they are in that they are smaller than normal picture books (refer to my photos), and they are in black and white. Perhaps using no colour shifts the attention to the words more whilst fulfilling the need to have something to look at.That being said the actual contents of the books are excellent and probably worth paying the extra money for. They are very well written and approach the subject matters in quite a nice way. I would definitely recommend!

Excellent explanation exactly what I have been looking for. There should be more authors that are providing a unified common understanding of God just like Emma’s books.

I like this book. I read it to my five year old who is ALWAYS asking questions on Allah.I want to see more books from this publisher on lots more titles and in this same series.

Didn't find this book as interesting as the first one.

More for older kids to understand but really does get them thinking about the unseen

I bought this book because my daughter started asking questions about God and among them is how big he is and where does he live. I have to start by saying that the title of the book is very suitable because it describes what kids wonder about. Kids understand the world around them throught their senses. The concept of God is a difficult concept but the author manages to relate familiar things around the kids and how this universe relates to God. I especially like the cover of the book, yellow is an attractive color! I must admit that the paper is not the best but since I noticed that the author is self published, I figured that she has less control over these parameters. Kudos for her for trying to tackle issues that others might deem wrong. Looking forward reading the rest of her books.

Helped answer so many questions in such an elighting way. jazak Allah khair.

I read this book to my inquisitive 4 1/2 year old a few days ago, and we both enjoyed it. I can tell she didn't fully grasp all the ideas in the book just yet, but she will as she gets older. I loved the example given in the book about why we can't imagine Allah, which is something she *has* tried to do. I had never thought about the response the book gives before, so even I was given an opportunity to reflect. The use of scientific facts was what made this answer so strong, and for older kids, would spark conversation about things like light waves and sound waves. It's not as long as I had hoped, but still a great conversation starter (or ender depending on your child!)

Good concepts, wish it had colorful pictures
