In the spirit of “Elf on the Shelf” and “Mensch on the Bench” comes a new toy and book to teach children about Islam: “Imam Adam.” According to its creator, Danny Shakoj, “Imam Adam” is meant to serve a dual purpose: Supporting the faith of Muslim families and also educating non-Muslims about the basic tenets of Islam. As Shakoj says, “I’d like people to get a different perspective [on Islam.]… Usually, with younger kids, parents will read to them, so this way both the parents and the kids get the information.”
