Synopsis

How do you help your child tell the truth when they’re afraid of getting in trouble?

An Islamic picture book for children ages 4–8, about honesty, forgiveness, and the courage to admit a mistake.

Maryam wants to help Mom in the garden—and show her what she can do all by herself. She’s supposed to wait so they can move the heavy flowerpot together. But Maryam decides to try on her own…

CRACK!

The pot breaks. Dirt spills everywhere. Maryam freezes. Should she hide the pieces under the bench? Pretend she doesn’t know what happened? Or find the courage to tell Mom everything?

A little adventure that opens the door to important conversations.

In When My Little Heart Makes a Mistake, children meet a little girl who means well but makes a choice she regrets. Her worries, hesitation, and wish to make things right give families plenty to talk about.

As you read together, explore what it means to:

  • Be honest: tell someone what happened, even when it feels scary.

  • Take responsibility: admit a mistake and understand why a rule matters.

  • Ask for forgiveness: apologize to others and ask Allah for forgiveness.

  • Make things right: ask an adult for help and work together on a solution.

Islamic values woven into everyday family life.

Maryam’s mom explains that Allah asks us to tell the truth, even when we’re afraid. The meaning of “Astaghfirullah” is explained in simple words, and references to the Quran and a hadith appear at the end of the book.

Warm watercolor and gouache illustrations invite children into Maryam’s garden. With 32 pages and questions to discuss together, this picture book offers a starting point for conversations about mistakes, trust, and forgiveness—at bedtime or whenever your family settles down for a story.

Share Maryam’s story with your child and start a conversation about finding the courage to tell the truth.
