The Salah Series
A Genre of Its Own
Where Storytelling Meets Pastoral Education
The Salah Series stands in a category unlike any other. These books blend imaginative storytelling with gentle pastoral guidance helping children make sense of big feelings, brave moments, and real-life challenges. Inspired by the true learning journeys of Salah Ethan Shadood, each story uses warmth, humour, and adventure to nurture emotional strength and resilience.

Every tale tackles meaningful childhood moments—fear, courage, surgeries, storms, bullying, screen time and transforms them into safe, empowering lessons. Children don’t just read the story; they see themselves in it, gaining confidence, empathy, and the language to understand their emotions.
