Samah's Surprise: Learning About a Muslim Baby

By Saffiya Shaheen

Tiny toes, big smiles, and traditions full of love await. 

This touching tale invites young readers to explore the cherished traditions of welcoming a Muslim newborn, from the calming call of the adhan to the joyful celebration of the aqeeqah. Seen through Samah’s curious eyes, children discover Al-Wahhab (the Bestower of gifts) and share in the emotional journey of embracing a new family member. Along the way, they learn the values of love, faith, and togetherness.

The book also offers bonus features: simple explanations of Muslim baby rituals, fun interactive activities, a handy glossary, and a delightful English-Arabic emotions song for sing-along moments!
