Every Good Thing

£21

A little day. So many gifts.

A Qur'an-inspired picture book about noticing what was there all along.

Inspired by Surah Ar-Rahman · Ages 3–7 · Hardback edition

Read Every Good Thing

Amira wakes with the warmth of the morning sun on her face.

Before the quiet moon is at her window she will meet a sweet fig, cool water, warm bread and the people who look after her.

Nothing extraordinary happens.

That is rather the point.

With Mama beside her, each small good thing becomes a reason to stop for a moment.

By the end of the day, gratitude has become less about being reminded to say thank you and more about learning to notice how much there was to thank Allah for in the first place.

Inspired by Surah Ar-Rahman, Every Good Thing introduces young children to Allah as Ar-Rahman, the Most Merciful, through a day they can recognise as their own.

Which little gift made your day feel good?

A law graduate from London, she gathers her stories on long walks through St James's Park and Hyde Park, past Buckingham Palace and along the Thames towards Hampton Court, photographing the small details that end up on the page. The robin in her books was first spotted on one of those walks.

Her husband hears every story first. His favourite is Who Makes It Grow?, for its lesson in doing your part and trusting Allah with the rest.
