About The Book
The perfect book to introduce children to the teachings in the Qur’an.
Inside this board book, toddlers and young children will find out about the Qur’an’s beautiful teachings: to care for all creation; to respect the books of the Prophet and God; to be good to one another; and to believe in Allah, the Creator.
Stunning illustrations, full of color, bring the pages to life and the carefully written text is simple, easy to understand, and suitable to be read aloud.
It also features some facts about the Qur’an and common questions children might ask, such as: what does the word “Qur’an” actually mean?
About the Contributor(s)
About the author
Sara Khan: Sara Khan is a contemporary author and qualified translator best known for the My First Book series of Islamic board books written for toddlers and young children. Born in Stuttgart, Germany, she moved to the United Kingdom at the age of twelve, and is fluent in German, Arabic, and Urdu. She holds a first-class BA (hons) in Linguistics and Arabic and an MA in Translation and Interpreting Studies, both from the University of Manchester, where her postgraduate research focused on the translation and adaptation of the Qurʾan for children. That academic background, paired with her experience as a parent, shaped a body of work aimed at presenting Islam to very young readers in a clear, age-appropriate way. Her My First Book titles, illustrated by Ali (Alison) Lodge and published by the Islamic Foundation, introduce core subjects of faith and practice, among them the Qurʾan, salah, Ramadan, Allah, the Prophet Muhammad, and Hajj, using short, read-aloud text and warm illustrations. The series, generally aimed at ages two to six, has been widely adopted by Muslim families and schools seeking an accessible first introduction to Islamic teachings. Khan has also produced companion early-learning items such as memory and jigsaw games on Islamic themes. Her work fills a real gap in age-appropriate Islamic material for the youngest children.
About the illustrator
Ali Lodge: Ali Lodge (Alison Lodge) is a contemporary British children's illustrator and author based in Cheshire, England. She studied illustration and later earned a master's degree in illustration for children, and since the mid-2000s, when her first picture book appeared, she has illustrated a broad range of work for young readers, from picture books and baby and board books to reading schemes, school and library materials, and Welsh-language titles. Among Muslim families she is best known for her work with Kube Publishing on the popular "My First Book About..." series, authored by Sara Khan and aimed at toddlers and young children. These include "My First Book About the Qurʾan," "My First Book About Salah," and "My First Book About Ramadan," whose clear, gentle illustrations help introduce the youngest readers to core elements of Islamic faith and practice. Her bright, friendly visual style also extends to interactive and play-based titles, such as the lift-the-flap board book "Little Umar's Search" and the "My First Islamic Memory Game." Lodge's illustration is marked by warm color, rounded, approachable characters, and uncluttered pages well suited to early childhood. Her contribution to contemporary Islamic children's publishing lies chiefly in making foundational concepts visually inviting and accessible to very young learners.
