Finding a love for a rug in his father's shop, Mustafa was told he had to learn a new language and broaden his horizons. However, after a day, he gets board and leaves the shop with the rug on his head. Will the young one learn more about his and others language?
The illustrations are made with many straight lines and squares. The colors are bright with orange being the most vibrant. The artist used watercolors to create this beautiful illustrations.
I would use this book during a lesson where we learn about different cultures. We would compare and contrast the different things we are associated with within our culture. I would use this for an other class around 6th grade so everyone would be able to clearly talk about the different traditions within their family!
