I was asked recently to draw these two girls for their respective birthday parties.Their moms used the drawings for a pin-the-tail like game, where the party goers were blind-folded(or just spun around with eyes closed) and then tried to pin paper hearts on the face of the birthday girl! What a neat idea! Fun was had by all! Epecially me, even though I wans't at the parties- I had so much fun doing the drawings!

I was asked to draw this as a symbol of the Baha'i concepts on the Oneness of Religion.

Join Kamal as he goes about a typical day in his neighborhood, spending time with his family, attending a neighborhood children's class, visiting an elderly neighbor, playing with his friends, and helping his parents host a study circle. Kamal's Day offers us a glimpse of a young person who is fully engaged in the community-building process, and it is hoped that Kamal will offer famil
