Book Review: Grandpa and Grandma Come to Stay by Asma Zaman

By Zainab John 
I really enjoyed reading this book to my two-year old. I loved the message and the fact that it has few words and a lot of picture illustrations which makes it ideal for very young children, especially for those like my son who are too young to read, but are able to recognise and identify objects by name and to make associations. The pictures really helped to tell the story in a fun and simple way; and I think it can be used by parents to encourage children to not only help their grand parents and be kind to them, but also encourage them to be kind and help the elderly. So for these reasons, I highly recommend Grandpa and Grandma Come to Stay to parents with young children.

INTERVIEW:

Welcome Asma, please tell us a little bit about yourself?

My name is Asma Zaman I’m a London based Law Graduate and currently pursuing theoretical and practical qualifications as a Psychological Counsellor/Psychotherapist. My aspiration of becoming a writer began at a very young age but only became a reality as a consequence of a long term condition I was diagnosed with about 10 years ago. From not being able to read and write, due to it effecting my neurological system, to now having my work published is a great feeling Alhumdolilah!  Now I actively raise awareness and provide support to fellow sufferers of M.E (Myalgic-Encephalomilitis (an auto-neuro immune condition)) and Fibromyalgia and their careers.
