I love my Baba by Razaida Bahram: Book review

I was recently sent a copy of ” I love My Baba” by Razaida Bahram to review.However, all thoughts and opinions are my own. Razaida Bahram lives in London with her husband and two children and Noor Nursery is inspired by her love of Islam and the importance of implementing this in her home. She holds a Bachelor’s degree in English Language Teaching and Literature and is currently a stay at home mum studying hifdh of the Holy Qur’an.

I love My Baba

Author- Razaida Bahram

Illustrator-Asbah Alaena

Hardcover

The book depicts a beautiful relationship between a little girl and her father. It has a nice balance in portraying the different sides of fatherhood- loving , caring, helpful around the house , playful as well as emphasising our core aspect of our beautiful Deen- Salah and praying together as a family. The book uses rhymes throughout , which definitely makes it more engaging for young children and therefore is perfect for the target audience- toddlers and preschoolers. My 2 year old son and 5 year old daughter really enjoyed listening to the book and at the end we had a little discussion of what they loved about their daddy. I absolutely loved the illustrations done by the super talented Asbah Alaena – they are beautiful , vibrant and colourful.This is a brilliant book to have in your children’s Islamic library at home and also makes a perfect gift too.
