The King and The Mouse

Can a tiny mouse really save a mighty king? You bet those little teeth can!

In this roaringly fun Islamic children's story, a grand ruler discovers that the most powerful friend he'll ever have might just be the smallest one in the room. Packed with surprises, heart, and the crunchiest rescue you've ever heard, this tale shows young readers and families that real leadership means lifting others up - and that even the smallest act of help can change everything.

This story has ancient roots! Retold for over a thousand years, it comes from Kalila wa Dimna, a beloved collection of Muslim fables translated into Arabic in the 8th century - itself adapted from a Persian version of the ancient Sanskrit Pancatantra (also known as The Fables of Bidpai). Children around the world have been laughing and learning from these stories for generations.

A perfect read-aloud for Muslim families, and lovers of classic world literature, this book brings timeless wisdom to readers ages 3 and up.
