Henna Is ... features music and special effects. Listen along and enjoy the fun! An audiobook that serves young listeners…

as a lyrical love letter to henna, written by Muslim Book Reviewer Award winner Marzieh Abbas. Henna is so much more than a form of temporary body art. Henna is nature—seeds sprouted into shrubs, leaves kissed by tropical rain. Henna is color—the orange of juicy mangoes, sun-kissed brown, or black as the feathers of crows. Henna is fragrance—earthy and nutty, lemony and clove-y. The intricate patterns of flowers, feathers, vines, and other symbols painted and stained onto skin has been a tradition in cultures all around the world for thousands of years. Beautiful and eye-catching, henna also carries the scents, textures, and colors of family and identity
