Little stories with a light inside
Ferngleam makes original illustrated picture books about the small, brave choices children face every day: telling the truth, waiting their turn, saying sorry. Each story comes with a read-aloud narration and a few questions to talk about together.
What you'll find in a Ferngleam book
A picture on every spread
Each spread puts a full illustration on one page and the story on the facing page, so little listeners always have something to look at while you read.
A read-aloud narration
An MP3 narration of the whole book, for car rides, bedtime or reading along on their own. You can hear a sample on each book page.
A gentle lesson
A moral of the story, a few simple life lessons, and an Islamic values section with Qur'an and hadith references that are checked before release.
Questions to talk about
Reflection questions at the end help families and classrooms turn the story into a real conversation.

Our stories are drafted with the help of AI writing tools, and our illustrations and narration are made with AI image and voice tools. Before a book is released, a person reviews the story, checks the pictures against the words and listens to the narration. Every book page says exactly which parts were made with AI.
