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.

A Macmillan Audio production from Feiwel & Friends.
