Ten minutes a week, and the conversation starts on its own — four editions, each from its own tradition.

At Our Table
With Our Faith

The Islamic edition · 52 weeks · for children ages 6 to 12

The book opens up

As-salamu alaykum,

Faith brings people together, and it splits them apart just as often. Almost never because anyone means harm. Usually because no one quite knows what the other believes. And that starts earlier than we think: many children also know little about their own faith.

That is why we made not one book but four: a Christian, a Jewish, an Islamic and a Buddhist edition. The same fifty-two topics, the same structure, each from its own tradition. A child gets to know their own story, and knows the child next to them gets the same question that same week.

The Islamic edition is made for one moment: at the table after the meal, once a week, ten minutes. A story, a verse from the Quran, a question with no right answer, and ten seconds of silence. That is all it is, and that is exactly why families keep it up.

The Islamic edition The Islamic edition
Hardcover €22.95 · paperback €15.55. Print only — it is meant to be drawn and written in, so there is no e-book and there won't be one. Fifty-two weeks, two pages each. Also available in Dutch, German, French, Spanish and Italian.

What one week looks like

1
A story
Half a page about a child going through something your children will recognize.
2
A verse from the book
One verse, with the reference, so you can look it up.
3
Did you know
One small fact that makes children laugh or think.
4
The question of the week
One question with no right answer. That is where the conversation starts.
5
Ten seconds of silence
Literally ten seconds. Children find it the best part.
6
Two closing lines
Short enough to say together, even for someone hearing it for the first time.

A boy who insulted his friend and doesn't know how to make it right. Alongside it, a verse about forgiveness, with the surah noted. And a drawing the child gets to finish.
