New book series that puts our kids in the stories!

In the name of God, Most Merciful, Most Kind,

Storytelling is hugely important in the lives of our kids. I could go on and on about this, but I think most parents know instinctively that their children appreciate a good story - and that it is a chance to help shape their understanding of their place in the world.

So, el Hamdullilah, I was delighted to discover a new book series homegrown in Canada, that tells fun stories about children that look, talk and think like our own kids.

The books are as well-produced and as well-written as any mainstream book, but simply incorporate simple phrases and images that reflect an Islamic identity. Here's an example of the cute rhyming and subject matter, though as you see in the image above, the pictures in later books are even better.

And check out the website for their available titles: www.kidswillbekids.org

I'm hoping to bring these books to Ottawa, so email me if you are interested!
