Even young Muhammad (peace be upon him) joined this stand for fairness—long before he became a Prophet. With Captain Suhail still clinging to his “not-my-problem” ways, can Zaki help him see that real courage means standing up for others? A heartfelt tale of justice, bravery, and cookies.

Through the quiet hills of Makkah, we discover how caring for sheep helped shape the heart of a future Prophet. With a little help (and a lot of sarcasm) from Captain Suhail, Zaki learns that even the smallest acts of kindness can lead to the greatest strength.

A story full of heart, humor, and tiny bird sneezes—this...
