Overview

An Ismaili children's story that captures the traditional role of family, faith, food and fun. It's the weekend, which means it's time to visit Nanima and Nanabapa! Hooray! The children are always happy to visit their grandparents. There's so much good food to eat: samosas, mogo, biryani, kokotende, thepla, and even mandazi! As the children cook with their grandparents, Nanima and Nanabapa teach them about more than just the ingredients needed to make a delicious meal: they also learn how to live a life of faith. Why is attending Jamatkhana so important? How do we follow Sirat al-Mustaqeem? What does it mean to have iman? Together, Nanima and Nanabapa help the children uncover the answers to these questions-and more!
