Hamza Attends A Janazah

How do we talk to children about death? Hamza Attends a Janazah answers this quietly, tenderly, through the eyes of a child. When Hamza's fun Saturday plans are cancelled by the sad news that Uncle Sameer has passed away, he learns about the rituals and etiquettes of an Islamic funeral for the very first time. A gentle, age-appropriate window into grief, remembrance and the afterlife, this story opens the door to important conversations families need to have — with compassion, not fear.
