Allah called it the best of stories, and told it in a single surah from beginning to end — which He did for no other Prophet.
Told here in rhyme for young children: the dream of eleven stars, the jealousy of his brothers, the well he was thrown into, the caravan that found him, the house in Egypt he was sold into, the false accusation, the years in prison, the king's dream that nobody could interpret, and the moment his brothers stood in front of him without knowing who he was.
Because it is a genuine story with reversals in it, and because Yusuf عليه السلام is a boy when it begins.
And because of how it ends. He had every reason and every power to punish his brothers, and he forgave them. A child who has followed him through the well, the slavery and the prison feels the weight of that choice in a way no lesson on forgiveness could produce.
Simple full-color illustrations accompany rhyming poetry that is fun to read aloud and surprisingly easy to remember — which is the point. A child who has heard a story in verse a dozen times can recite parts of it back, and what he can recite he retains.
Each book carries an "Islamictionary": a simplified children's glossary explaining the Arabic and Islamic words as they appear. That single feature is why the books work in non-Arabic-speaking households, where a parent reading aloud otherwise has to stop and improvise a definition.
Hard, durable full-color pages with the picture on the left and the text on the right. Each book is 8 x 5 inches and three-quarters of an inch thick — built for the handling a favorite book gets.
Fifteen titles, each on one Prophet, all in the same rhyming format:
