About the book:
Welcome to the delightful world of 3 year old Maryam captured and delivered with 6 heart-warming short stories.
Maryam whizzes around her house collecting and loading almost everything on to her tiny push chair, only to be met with disaster but, is all at loss? No, for Maryam remembers the power of dua (prayer).
What do we say after we have sneezed? Why do people go on pilgrimage? Can mini Maryam pray with her family? What do we say before we eat? Curious mini Maryam soon finds out.
Join Maryam as she discovers when and why to read certain Islamic prayers and to also keep her family in check!
