Book Review by Anum
"This is such an adorable story. Bilal is shown as any ordinary boy interested in building things but at the same time empathic and caring towards his family. While mother is away, he goes out of his way to help his father in several ways which was just heart warming to read.
Sometimes older siblings have trouble adjusting to the arrival of a new baby but I appreciate that this book shows ways how the older brother was helpful and loving."
Book Review by
"we absolutely loved this book! How I wish we found it when I was expecting with my youngest. I loved how Bilal, before even knowing he was a big brother, cared so beautifully for his father in his state of exhaustion!
Truly beautiful story! MashaAllah"
Book Review by Hibz
"Our family laughed with every turned page, such an adorable book that's hilariously honest and warm loving and depicts the exhaustion surrounding a newborn and the instant bond it creates with older siblings."
