Why Should My Child Read This Book?
A simple, sweet story about two friends who just want to plant a garden and enjoy the clear summer days while waiting for their harvest. Instead, they get a lesson in humility and friendship. Children will delight in the stunning illustrations, which bring life-like expressions to the faces of all the creatures, telling more about their internal states than the few words on each page. When we love for our brother what we love for ourselves, we will be showered in Allah’s ﷻ bounty.
Our beloved Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, the wisest of all human beings, taught us that giving of ourselves never decreases our wealth, our time, our status or our possessions. This book reinforces that message—the act of giving nourishes our souls and replenishes our ability to give more. Allah’s ﷻ blessings are boundless, it is we who limit them when we draw boundaries around our ability to give.
