Over twenty stories from the Quran are retold at bedtime length, each one landing on a value such as patience, humility or trust.
Full-colour illustration runs through every page, and the narration has been kept clear enough to read aloud without the reader having to simplify on the fly. The stories work as a settled end to the day, but they also hold up for a child reading alone, since the age guidance points to roughly ten years and upward. Each entry is short, so nothing overruns a sleepy evening.
The takeaway:
• More than twenty Quranic accounts arranged for evening reading
• Core values of love, obedience, patience and trust drawn out in each
• Full-colour pages throughout rather than occasional plates
• Guidance suggests readers from around ten years of age
