About the Book: A spinoff of the classic Stone Soup folktale, Bismillah Soup is a story about Hasan, a young Somali boy who ventures out to prepare a delicious feast for his mother. With a little bit of elbow grease, a lot of trust in God and the help of his friends and neighbours, Hasan quickly turns his idea into a magnificent plan and gathers the entire community together for a spectacular feast at the local mosque. Hasan’s journey is full of unexpected twists and turns that lead him down a path of discovering what community, generosity and reliance on God truly mean. Ages 4+
Hina Sami –
What a wonderful story indeed. I read it to myself and found it to be so wonderfully written. The idea of believing in Allah and then setting out to work could not have been better explained. Also the generosity of the market traders really makes you yearn for a community where everyone takes care of another. I read it out to my father who got teary eyed towards the end – its the purity of intention and the innocence of children…Beautiful book from Ruqaya’s Bookshelf. So glad I have it on my bookshelf!
