About This Book
A parent might reach for this book when they want to introduce the concept of charity and civic responsibility to their toddler through a faith-based lens. It is an ideal choice for families looking to normalize the practice of sharing wealth and resources as a natural, joyful part of everyday life rather than a chore or a complex obligation. The story follows siblings Mustafa and Arwa as they learn about Zakat, the Islamic practice of giving to those in need. Through gentle rhyming verses and bright illustrations, the book emphasizes themes of empathy, kindness, and gratitude. It is perfectly scaled for children aged 2 to 5, making a big concept feel accessible and warm. Parents will appreciate how it models siblings working together toward a common goal of helping others.
