Dot Line Circle Human - A dot...

David Stierli

"Dot. Line. Circle. Human." is not an ordinary story. 
It is a journey. A transformation. 
A tiny nothing – a dot – falls to Earth and begins to... feel. Think. Grow. 
Chapter by chapter, it changes its shape – and maybe, so do you. 
In 51 poetic, surprising, and profound episodes, this dot experiences everything we know ourselves: 
Doubt, discovery, retreat, departure, pain, hope – and the quiet power of change. 
What begins harmlessly becomes a subtle reflection of our own development: 
How we curl up when it gets too much. 
How we sometimes stumble, crash, break. 
How we reinvent ourselves – as a line, as a tree, as light. 
And how we might eventually come to realize: 
We were never "just a dot." 
We are a story in motion. 
With clear language, tender depth, and a touch of cheeky poetry, this book invites you to remember yourself: 
your roots, your radiance, your humanity. 
A book to read slowly. 
And feel for a long time.

The first 10 years of a child's life are the most impressionable. This is when their foundations are formed and so it is the best time to encourage positive traits, so they are equipped with the tools to live healthy and balanced lives through which they worship and serve Allah. 
Each storybook has been designed to focus on a main principle, followed by related Qur'an/Hadith quotes. The moral of the story section highlights the core lessons from the storybook. Finally, we have included an activity page which is designed to encourage your child to implement the story's lessons. 
Our stories are based on questions our children ask us and scenarios we have come across in our daily lives whilst homeschooling them.
