Children's Books and its role in children's development Based on the book concept in the Holy Quran with emphasis on the view of Allameh TabatabaiNastaran Poursalehi1*

Children's books affect children's language, cognitive, personality, and social development. The presence of an accurate definition of this concept can help the child's holistic development. The present study aimed to reach the concept of children's books based on the definition, that Allameh Tabatabai provided from the Qur'an. The library method and focus group have been used. Six experts who had Quranic studies were included in the focus group. The qualitative data analysis identified three types of books in a child's life: 1) a physical book contains the child's memories and experiences and establishing beliefs through it, 2) The book "Parents and their lifestyles" (behavior and speech of the parents and the child's surroundings, facilities and place of his life), 3) a book about nature and natural phenomena. Based on the findings, parents should not ignore the effect of their communication with the child and try to provide holistic development for the child through the three types of books.
