There are many Muslim books out there but I found it hard to find interesting books for kids without the language being too complicated or the illustrations being a bit poor. So here you have a list of Muslim kids books which I think every Muslim kid should read! At least the illustrations should make your kid want to read them.
1. Golden Domes and Silver Lanterns: A Muslim Book of Colors
The main character of this book guides you through the Muslim culture seen from a kid’s perspective. Islamic objects are linked to colors like a blue hijab or a red rug to capture the world of Islam and Muslim traditions. Buy on Amazon.
