Heart Germs & Gems: Gratitude
This book guides children to recognise ingratitude, understand its effect on the heart, and learn the power of gratitude, rooted in Sunnah, for a happy mind.
In this series, feelings like anger, stinginess and envy are represented by heart germs, because they can make our hearts sick. They are unwanted, just like a germ. Having control of these feelings, or the opposite of them, like calm, generosity and gratitude – basically, all the good stuff - is represented by a shining heart gem. Because after all, these feelings and ways of being, get rid of the heart germs and feel warm and bright inside us.
Why is this book needed?
Gratitude is one of the most important qualities Islam encourages us to develop from a young age. When gratitude is left untaught, children may begin to focus on what they lack rather than the blessings around them, leading to negativity and discontent. This book equips parents with gentle, Islamic lessons to help children recognise blessings, express thanks, and build habits of gratitude rooted in the deen.
For ages 5-8
