"Folks, you have to check this one out. Islamic Rose Books are fun, wholesome and educational. We need more Islamic fiction titles like these as alternatives to the uninspiring literature some of our children are reading these days. Personally, I'm hooked to the books. I think even adults, especially those who are new to or clueless about Islam, will benefit from reading them. Great way to do da'wah as well, so you can get them for your children's non-Muslim friends or even yours! The stories read naturally, especially the conversations. I hope your books will do well and will certainly tell others about them."

“I was pleasantly surprised to come across the Islamic Rose Books series by Sr. Delgado, a convert to Islam and accomplished and dedicated author. It wasn't just one well-written book, however, but four, so our eager young readers can continue to grow and experience life with the main character of the series, a young girl named Rose and her non-Muslim friends group called the Hijab-Ez, who take us on a journey of self-discovery as well as the discovery of Islam. We are presented with a number of very serious life moments and through engaging story-telling we are brought to realistic resolutions. The writing is terse, though not sparse, free-flowing, but not shallow. I, personally, plan to introduce these books in our Islamic school and also to donate them to our local library. Definitely recommend for your book shelves!”

“What Islam Is All About”

“Linda D. Delgado, a retired police-woman, offers a unique introduction to Islam, Muslim life and Islamic practices through her four Rose books for children. Each book revolves around 9-year-old Rose's first meeting with Muslims from overseas. The books, designed as family entertainment, include recipes, poetry, interesting facts about places, and a glossary of Islamic terms. These books will be a welcome addition to school libraries.”

I enjoyed this book the most of all four of the Islamic Rose books. The Hijab-Ez friends encounter a bunch of problems and solve them, drawing on wisdom from stories told by Grandma's Saudi Arabian visitors. Again we see a unique combination of good story telling with information about Islamic practice and culture, along with a commitment to harmonious diversity.
