Two mothers living in different countries, practicing different faiths have come together to spread a message of interfaith diversity, acceptance, and peace using unique educational tools.

Both mothers, one Muslim and the other Jewish, felt the parental responsibility to teach their young children about different faiths and customs in a bid to raise kinder, more accepting global citizens. Not finding the tools they wanted in the market, they set out to design their own.

In the US, Lail, created the Harmony Cookie Cutter Set, a box of 4 different cutters each in the shape of an iconic image celebrating different faith-based holidays. The development of this fun, kid friendly product was her small attempt to start a conversation about overcoming separation and difference by showing her daughter the commonalities between faiths.

In the UK, Medeia wrote Hats of Faith, a stunningly illustrated, board book introducing faith-based head covering to young children and their parents. Similarly her goal with this book was to educate her son with accurate terminology and depictions of faith-based head coverings so that he would be familiar and respectful when he encountered people who wore them.

Lail and Medeia believe in living harmoniously across racial, ethnic, religious, cultural and national boundaries. In this time of increased intolerance and violence they feel strongly that we must be the change we want to see and do what we can to spread a positive message of love, unity and respect.

The Harmony Cookie Cutters and Hats of Faith Book were both inspired by Lail and Medeia’s own children and their desire to educate them, but they are now available to help other parents and educators around the world to share this important message.

Now you can purchase your very own cookie cutter sets and books to use with your little ones at home. And just for this campaign, you can also purchase specially priced bundles featuring all our products, including our new children’s and adults T-shirts featuring illustrations from the pages of Hats of Faith and our coloring sheets to take care of everyone on your gift list!
