From one sun to countless stars, this gentle introduction to numbers also celebrates the many diverse traditions of the Muslim world, encouraging readers young and old to reflect upon – and count – their many blessings.

Like Golden Domes and Silver Lanterns and Crescent Moons and Pointed Minarets, this latest offering in the Concepts of the Muslim World series has stunning illustrations, rhyming read-aloud text, and informative back matter, and it is equally at home in the classroom or being read on a parent's lap.

Industry Reviews

"[Hena Khan and Mehrdokht Amini] do a remarkable job of depicting the blending of the past to the present. . . . [One Sun and Countless Stars is] an introduction to the Islamic faith that serves its community and newcomers well; with its personal observations, rhyming text, and detailed illustrations, it would make a unique read-aloud and a significant addition to any library collection."-School Library Journal, starred review
"Exquisite, colorful mixed-media illustrations depict a setting that could be Iran (Amini's ancestral homeland) and showcase the aesthetics of Islamic art, from textile patterns to architectural ornamentation. This concept book compliments the creators' Golden Domes and Silver Lanterns (2012) and Crescent Moons and Pointed Minarets (2018), about colors and shapes, respectively. . . . A creative, fun introduction to Islam."-Kirkus Reviews
