About The Book
This is the seventh book in the best-selling Eliyas Explains series of Islamic books - perfect for children aged 7-11 years old. This book is not part of the set of 6 Eliyas Explains books also available.
The book is written in a simple and easy-to-understand language that is perfect for curious children. It's full of fun fonts and illustrations, making it an engaging and exciting page turner!
The book is narrated by a nine year old fictional character, speaking to the reader in relatable terms they understand. In the character's voice:
Have you ever wondered what the Prophet (saw) was like? Not the story of his life, but just what he was like as a person. What he looked like, what he acted like and what kind of a person he was to be around? I wondered that too, so on the day we were picking my dad’s uncle up from the airport, my parents told us all about him (saw). LOADS of crazy stuff happened that day, which I’ll tell you about too. By the time you finish this book, you’ll feel like you’ve met the Prophet (saw) and you’ll love him, just like I do now.

About the author
Zanib Mian: Zanib Mian studied Molecular Cell Biology at University College London before working as a secondary school science teacher. Motivated by the lack of diverse and inclusive representation in children's publishing, she left teaching to found Sweet Apple Publishers, through which she has published numerous picture books and early readers, many of which she authored herself. Her books have been featured on BBC's CBeebies Bedtime Stories and praised by The Guardian for their contribution to diversity in children's literature. She was commissioned to write an opera for The Mahogany Opera Group, regularly features at the Bradford Literature Festival, and serves on the panel of judges for the Young Muslim Writers Awards. Her Planet Omar series, first published under the title The Muslims, is her first work for older readers and is published by Hachette Children's Group; it won the Little Rebels Award 2018 and was shortlisted for the UKLA Award and nominated for the CILIP Carnegie Medal.
About the illustrator
Daniel Hills: Daniel Hills is a contemporary illustrator best known for his work on popular Islamic children's books published by Muslim Children's Books.
