What if a story could do more than entertain a child? What if it could become a quiet companion, something they return to when they need courage, kindness, or a reminder of what really matters?

This is the spirit behind the Anis Foundation, whose name itself means “a companion or a friend.” Through beautifully narrated audio stories, Anis creates a space where children can encounter moral and spiritual ideas through imagination, history, and memorable human experiences.

One of its most engaging collections is The Master: Stories of ‘Abdu’l-Bahá for Children, narrated by Sarah Perceval. The collection brings 24 stories from the life of ‘Abdu’l-Bahá to life, each offering a simple yet powerful moral insight. From The Sheep and A Handful of Flour to The Garden of Ridvan, The Traveller, and Servant of the Poor, the stories invite young listeners into moments of kindness, courage, generosity, service, and love.

There is also The Master – Love Over Hate, a collection inspired by the life and example of ‘Abdu’l-Bahá, exploring themes such as love, peace, equality, magnanimity, and acts of kindness.

In a world filled with noise, perhaps children need stories that leave something behind after the listening ends, a question, a feeling, an example to follow.
