The MERCY Series

Falling is not failure.

A story about falling, returning, and beginning again — told through faith, family, dignity and the mercy we owe one another.

Follow Khalid and his son Zayd as they learn that worth is not measured by perfection, but by humility, perseverance, gratitude and the courage to rise again.

Faith Dignity Compassion Hope

About MERCY

A father and son learning from one another

MERCY is a heartfelt illustrated story about faith, family, questions, struggle and compassion. It was created for young readers and families who may see parts of themselves in a child who experiences the world differently.

Through the guidance of his father, Khalid, young Zayd discovers that falling is not failure. True balance is found in rising again with repentance, hope and faith — and in remembering that our gifts, effort and strength to continue are all acts of mercy.
