The Magical Moroccan Rug

Yusuf is like any other 10-year-old boy living an ordinary life with his parents. He likes nothing more than spending time with his best friend Jack. Eight years after Yusuf's one and only trip to see his grandfather, the Ayouch family excitedly prepares to welcome Grandpa to England, at last! But even Jack has to agree that the gift that Grandpa brings Yusuf from Morocco is disappointingly ordinary. Or is it?

Little do the boys know that together they are about to discover a world so much bigger than either of them ever imagined and learn how, with a curious mind, things are not always what they seem. But will it finally teach them to appreciate the most valuable gift of them all?

The Magical Moroccan Rug is Naveed's first book with Kube Publishing.

Anisa Mohammed is a freelance digital illustrator. She first began working as an illustrator in 2018 under the artist name; Corvae. Under her Corvae branding, she created fanart inspired by characters and anime shows which she would share across her socials. Anisa has always enjoyed creating this type of art for clients and brands however, she began to feel as though something was missing. She knew she wanted to utilise her illustration skills to work on a project related to her faith in some way.

The opportunity arose through the bestseller The Simple Seerah project. Illustrating these books was eye-opening experience for her and only increased her desire to work on more Islamic projects. It was then that she got into contact with Kube, expressing her interest. The Magical Moroccan Rug by Naveed Mir is her first of many projects to come.
