How the first page could read

One soft evening, your child was cosy on Mum’s lap when a warm glow appeared by the window. It came from a little lantern, hung carefully at home for Ramadan. Your child blinked at the golden light, reached out tiny fingers and listened as the lantern gently swayed.

Your child’s name, look and little details replace these words, and the whole story is written for their age.

Why this story works

This calm, baby-friendly story gives a very young child one clear thing to notice: the lantern’s warm light at home. Rather than asking your child to follow a busy plot, each spread can linger on familiar sensory moments: being held close, seeing light on the wall, reaching, listening and settling down. That makes it well suited to shared reading before bed during Ramadan, while leaving space for each family’s own routines and traditions. Personalising the illustrations from a photo helps parents point out your child’s face, hands and cosy home setting as they read. The simple ending returns the evening to quiet cuddles.

Reading it together

• Read slowly and pause to let your child look at the lantern pictures before turning each page.
• Point to your child in the illustrations and name familiar things from your own evening routine.
• Use the final cuddle scene as a gentle signal that it is time to settle for sleep.

Suggested art style: Storybook watercolour

Soft watercolour light gives the lantern a warm glow while keeping the bedtime scenes calm and gentle. You can pick any of the four styles and change the details in the form.
