The Desi Doll Company is releasing a new range of friendship dolls called My Little Muslim Friends that talk and help to promote respect and understanding. The aim of the toys is to teach kids about peer groups that may be different from their own, reminding that people can have plenty of things in common with one another even if their faith differs. As well as being able to talk, the dolls sing a song named "we are the best of friends."
The UK-based brand has been leading the Islamic toy market for many years since its launch, and there are plans for The Desi Doll Company to introduce its products to even more kids around the globe.
