Noor Kids Books Giveaway

The authors of Noor Kids books have a lot of experience working with Muslim parents and their children to try and determine their needs in a society where an Islamic education is not ready accessible or prevalent outside of the home. They find themselves responding to questions like, “How will my little Muslim child fit in?”, “How will she maintain confidence in her religious identity?”, “How can I make Islamic education relevant and exciting for my child?”

To answer these types of questions, Noor Kids is in the business of Crafting a Light (Noor) for Little Muslims! They address the first problem, or question, “How will my Muslim child fit in?” through the Noor Kids Islamic Activity Books.

Through their playful characters – Amin, Shireen, Asad, and Amira – their mission is to engage little Muslims with 1) Islamic education: to utilize reason in helping educate children on fundamentals of Islam; 2) Muslim culture: to ensure children understand the breadth of diversity within the Islamic faith; 3) American integration: To build confidence in our children’s religious identity.

Characteristics of each of the books:

Features Islamic inspired stories and activities for 3-8 year olds
Created with help from 60 parents around North America
Designed to build confidence in religious identity for children

The key characteristics that make their books so special:

(a) Characters:s – Amin, Shireen, Asad, and Amira – serve as role models for successful integration for children while also making Islamic education more relevant and engaging for children.

Parent-Child Engagement: They create content, such as discussion questions and interactive activities, to spark in-depth conversation between parents and children about faith. (An example of this is the “In the Kitchen” series)

Critical Thinking: They stimulate children to use reason (i.e. their brain) to internalize Islam. Instead of focusing on the ‘what’ and ‘how’ of faith (i.e. “What is salaat and how should I perform it?”), we focus on the ‘why’ (i.e. “Why do I perform salaat?”). (An example of this are the discussion questions)

Quality Design: They partner with world-class designers to create products that are comparable with other children’s media (i.e. Disney, Nickelodeon) to make Islamic education fun and exciting.
