Layla Learns Qur’an: Islamic SEL Unit | Growth Mindset Book Companion

Build emotional resilience through faith, story, and creativity.

This unique Islamic SEL (Social Emotional Learning) resource is a companion to the children’s book Layla Learns Qur’an. Thoughtfully developed by a Muslim homeschool mum with years of experience, this unit supports children aged 4–7 as they explore big feelings, navigate everyday struggles, and build their character — all through the lens of Qur’anic values.
