Ali and Fatima, two playful siblings, loved spending time together but often argued over toys because they didn’t like sharing. One day, during a visit to the park, they saw other kids playing happily by sharing their toys. Ali experienced the joy of sharing when a boy named Omar let him fly his kite, which inspired him to do the same. Fatima initially hesitated but later shared her train with another child, realizing how much fun sharing could be. Back home, the siblings began sharing toys, taking turns, and playing more creatively together. Their mother shared a story about the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), teaching them that generosity brings joy and blessings. From then on, Ali and Fatima became happier, learning that sharing is a secret to making games more fun and pleasing Allah.

Page 1Once upon a time, in a 1975 gray Ford car, lived Z'Rica Chanell. She was a 10-year-old African American girl with dark skin, big brown eyes and two afro puff ponytails tied with cotton candy looking ribbons. Z'Rica lived with her mom, little sister, and baby sister. They didn't have a home, so the car was their house. The back seat was Z'Rica's bedroom, and she kept her few belongings in a suitcase. At night, she'd sleep under a blanket, dreaming of a different life. Illustration: Z'Rica and her family in their car. Z'Rica is in the backseat, surrounded by her few belongings. Page 2Every day, Z'Rica would go to the library after school. She loved to read and learn new things. The library smelled like old books and felt quiet and peaceful. Z'Rica would get lost in the stories, imagining a different life for herself. She'd read about kids with big houses and loving families, wondering what that would be like. Illustration: Z'Rica walking to the library, carrying her backpack and looking down at a book. Page 3One day, while she was walking to the library, she found a old book and a wooden comb on the ground near the library. The comb was special - it had African patterns carved into it. She picked them up, feeling a strange connection to the comb. She decided to take them home, wondering where they came from. Maybe they belonged to someone important.

"Z'Rica, you have a special mission," it said in a low, rumbling voice. Z'Rica was surprised, but also excited. Her hair started talking back to the comb! "What mission?" it asked, looking at the comb. Illustration: The comb talking to Z'Rica's hair. Z'Rica is sitting on her car bed, looking shocked but excited.

there was a Sun who lived high in the sky. Every day, it shone brightly, warming the Earth and spreading light to all living things. However, despite its efforts, the Sun often felt sad. Thick clouds would drift in and cover its light, making the Sun feel unnoticed and unappreciated. The Sun wondered why the clouds always blocked it. “Why do they stop my light from reaching the Earth?” it thought. “Maybe the Earth prefers the clouds over me.” These thoughts made the Sun feel even lonelier and less important. As the days passed, the Sun’s sadness grew deeper. It began to believe that its light was no longer needed. “Perhaps the Earth would be better off without me,” the Sun sighed, feeling lost and unsure of its purpose in the sky. One day, the Sun gathered its courage and decided to speak to the clouds. “Why do you always cover my light?” it asked with a heavy heart. The clouds floated gently and answered, “Oh, dear Sun, we don’t mean to block you. We are here to protect the Earth from too much heat and to bring rain that helps plants and animals survive.” The Sun was surprised by the clouds’ reply. It had never realized that the clouds were not trying to compete with it but were actually working alongside it. “So, we’re working together to take care of the Earth?” the Sun asked curiously. The clouds smiled and said, “Yes, your warmth and light are as important as our rain. Together, we keep the Earth balanced.” Hearing this, the Sun felt a sense of relief and pride. It understood that even when its light was hidden behind the clouds, it was still making a difference. The Sun realized it wasn’t alone; it had a vital role in supporting life on Earth. From that day forward, the Sun shone brightly with joy and confidence. It and the clouds worked in harmony, ensuring the Earth stayed warm, nourished, and full of life. The Sun learned an important lesson: everyone has a purpose, and even when its light wasn’t always seen, it still mattered deeply.
