Any book that promotes little acts of kindness throughout the day is a great book in my book! This book shows how being kind brings light to people's lives centered on the phrase "peace be upon you."

Written by a young Muslim musician, a children's book that spreads the message of peace and blessings.

I was underwhelmed by this one. Once I watched the music video for the song that this book is based on, it made more sense, but I was confused as I was reading it as it didn't feel like a cohesive story.

Sweet message, but I wasn't a hug fan of the illustrations.

Great illustrations that reflect a diverse group of people, but the text doesn't flow well as a book because the words are actually song lyrics. Just felt awkward.

I'm not sure I'm ready to try singing pop songs to my baby storytime, but I just adore the bold colors and expressive illustrations; could make a good addition to my "Give Thanks" storytime.

This book makes more sense when you watch the music video from Harris J
