Abdul's Story | Jamilah Thompkins-Bigelow

2 posts | 1 read

A 2022 New York Public Library Best Book for Kids! A little boy who loves storytelling but struggles with writing learns that it’s okay to make mistakes in this charming and encouraging picture book from the author of Mommy’s Khimar. Abdul loves to tell stories. But writing them down is hard. His letters refuse to stay straight and face the right way. And despite all his attempts, his papers often wind up with more eraser smudges than actual words. Abdul decides his stories just aren’t meant to be written down…until a special visitor comes to class and shows Abdul that even the best writers—and superheroes—make mistakes.

Planning for the coming school year, and this book has me thinking about my kids and what they need. This quote caught me:
Abdul asks, "Why write his stories anyway? The people and places in his school books never looked or sounded like the people or places he knew." I love that Jamilah Thompkins-Bigelow is changing the world one book at a time. I can't wait to hear what the kids think!

I had no idea what this book would be about and loved that it's a story about a student who struggles. I struggle. I see kids struggle. And there's always someone who persists, "it's so easy!" Which just crushes you. Never say it's easy. Never say it's hard. Not if it's necessary.
