Karbala is the heart of Muharram and one of the most important stories a Shia child will ever hear. These books tell it one person at a time, in language written for children, so that a child meets Bibi Zainab (S.A), Hazrat Abbas (A.S) or Bibi Sakina (S.A) as people to love before they meet them as history to memorise. Start with The Story of Karbala for Kids, then follow your child’s curiosity to whichever hero they ask about next.
