Empowering Muslim Children Through Arts And Literature


Are you Raising a Muslim Child in North America?

If so, you probably know how difficult it is to find high quality resources that cater to helping young ones build and grow their Muslim identities. HoneyTree Books is a Muslim family engagement subscription service in North America. We are excited to bring you this one-of-a-kind Muslim children's literature and arts quarterly package.

We want all families raising Muslim children from ages 1 through 9 to subscribe. Our focus is to enable Muslim children to explore values of Islam through carefully selected books and crafts.

Please watch the short clip above about HoneyTree Books and how it works!

Why HoneyTree?

Empower your children by providing them with stories of characters that represent them. Studies show that stories help children understand how society perceives their culture as well as the cultures of their classmates, teachers, caregivers, and others, thereby influencing their social and identity development. A child’s self-esteem is largely influenced by the way the child and overall society views the cultural group to which the child belongs. Books are ways children understand the world around them. Presenting diversity and showcasing different characters in books and other forms of media should be a natural occurrence in our diverse world, and we are hoping HoneyTree will do just that. HoneyTree books are carefully selected to represent the diversity of Muslims, and give young readers an opportunity to meet other Muslim characters.



How HoneyTree Works



Books will be delivered on a quarterly basis according to your child’s age. Age categories include ages 1-2, 3-4, 5-6, 7-9. On Ramadan and Eid Al-Adha there will be a special surprise for your little one(s) in the mail!

If you want to get involved in any capacity, please visit our contact page. We would love to host HoneyTree Book Club events in your area!

We have carefully hand-picked compelling stories with captivating illustrations that will capture your child's interests. Everything is carefully chosen and catered for you and your child.

Each subscription package includes: a new Islamic book and a craft. Our goal is to get families reading together, discussing Muslim values together, and working on crafts together. Throughout these stories and activities families will get a chance to discuss Muslim values, culture, and identity. Click here to subscribe.


Our Goal
