"SubhanAllah! Can I keep you?"
Buraidah loves animals! From swimming with a singing frog and sipping tea with a chatty bird, to strolling alongside a helpful ant, he can't resist bringing new little friends home. But as his adventures grow, Buraidah begins to wonder… is keeping them really the best thing to do?
Through playful encounters and gentle reminders, the animals help Buraidah — and young readers — discover a powerful truth: Allah takes care of every one of His creations.
