February 2023 Book of the Month

It’s that day at school when the photographer comes in and Faizah is wearing a very special dress. It’s red and used to belong to her sister Asiya, and to her mum before that. The joy that comes from sharing continues throughout the day.

As their teacher asks the class to imagine the sort of world they want, Faizah draws a kind world, her best friend Sophie a superhero world, and the two spend break times helping other children.

No wonder that in their class photo, everyone is smiling. When it comes to the sibling photos, Faizah is upset because she doesn’t match Asiya until a final act of kindness from her friends makes everything all right.

A book brimful of the happiness that comes from being kind, this is a lovely story to read and share. Faizah and her friends are full of life and energy and there’s lots going on in the illustrations that youngsters will recognise from their own school. It’s also a particularly joyful celebration of sibling love.
