In recent years, there has been an increasing number of children’s English books about Islam. Thanks to these authors, children of the ummah now have a wider range of quality books to choose from! Good books are a great help to parents and teachers who are teaching our future generation about the deen. For toddlers and preschoolers, one of the best ways to introduce anything is through a beautiful picture book! The bigger the better. 
Here I’ve compiled a list of picture books about Islam, written in English. I divided them into topics, so you can zoom in onto topics that interest you. The majority of these titles are most appropriate for 3- to 8-year-olds. Some are fiction, some are non-fiction, and others are a bit of both. Because yours truly is a bookaholic, we own/have read many of these books!

In terms of length, general format, and illustrations, these titles would appeal to toddlers more than the others listed.
