Inshallah you are all that is gentle and good. Inshallah you feel safe, like all children should.

LIKE THE MOON LOVES THE SKY is Hena Khan’s daily wish for her children. With lyrical lines, each based on a verse of the Quran, and narrative illustrations that trace the life of a child growing up, this book speaks to a parent’s unconditional love and concern for their child—as well as the joy of the parent-child bond.

Hena Khan is the author of GOLDEN DOMES AND SILVER LANTERNS: A MUSLIM BOOK OF COLORS, CRESCENT MOONS AND POINTED MINARETS: A MUSLIM BOOK OF SHAPES, NIGHT OF THE MOON: A MUSLIM HOLIDAY STORY, and other books for children. Hena is a native of Rockville, Maryland, where she lives with her husband and their two sons.

Saffa Khan is an illustrator and printmaker born in Dera Ismail Khan, Pakistan, and is now based in Glasgow, Scotland.
