Stories about family for Muslim kids

Much of family life here happens at bedtime and around the table. A mother teaches her son the Prophet's ﷺ bedtime sunnah when he is scared to sleep alone, a parent's rhyming dua asks Allah for a child's heart and hands, and families get ready together for Ramadan and Eid.

Some stories help a child see their parents more clearly. A boy thinks his dad is always working until he notices what his dad quietly does for him, a mum goes out to work and always comes back, and another mum turns out to be a real hero when she gives her sister a kidney. Grandparents pass on stories too, from the olive harvest in Palestine to an Eid morning with a grandmother in Mexico.

Two series keep coming back. In Aya & Yusuf, twins learn fairness, teamwork and keeping trusts from Mama, Baba and their grandparents on the farm, and in Dada & Me, Dada and his children make songs about caring at home. A wordless film shows a big sister who always helps her younger sister, until one day she is helped back.

Islam puts family near the heart of faith: the Qur'an tells us to be good to our parents, and the Prophet ﷺ said that keeping ties with family brings more provision. Each title's page lists what it teaches and questions to share, ready for a quiet moment at bedtime.
