The Loaf on the Table — An Illustrated Read-Aloud Story
A picture story to read together, within the birth-to-two stage. The full text is aimed around 18–24 months.


I sat in my seat
with the table in front of me.

Mum set down small pieces of food
that were right for me.

In the middle sat a warm loaf of bread.
I pointed to it.

“Bread,” said Dad.
“Allah has provided this food for us.”

Then Dad said to his wife, my mum, “Thank you.”
Mum smiled.

“Alhamdulillah. Praise be to Allah,” said Dad.
I listened and looked at my food.
The loaf was on the table.
We were gathered around it.
This is an original fictional story, not an account of a historical event.
