On Children On Children (from The Prophet)

Gibran's short passage on raising a child you do not own — that they come through you but not from you, and that your task is to be a steady bow, not to aim the arrow.

Why it belongs The whole posture of this library in a page. The Prophet entered the U.S. public domain, so On Children can sit here whole, in English and in fresh translations we make ourselves.

  • Belovedness and the secure base
  • The thread of years

In English, Arabic audiobook plain language

يمكنك أن تسأل مكتب المراجع بالعربية، وسيردّ عليك إنسان حقيقي. جملة واحدة تكفي.

You can ask the Reference Desk in Arabic — a real person writes back. One sentence is enough.

The books being considered for this shelf are listed for the community's review on the Provisional Shelf, with a door on each to recommend it, or not, in your own words.

The Arabic on this page was drafted in-house and waits for a community reviewer; the English beside it is the text of record until then.
