TOO CHATTY.TOO MESSY.TOO STUBBORN.TOO MUCH?

A different way to see her

But who said
“too much” is always
a bad thing?

Sometimes the qualities that challenge us most are the ones that become our greatest gifts.

Meet Tehmina

Big personality.
Big feelings.

Free-spirited, chatty, messy, strong-willed and full of heart. Tehmina experiences the world loudly—and begins to discover that the things that make her feel like “too much” can also be strengths.

What you’ll find inside

Big feelings.
Little discoveries.

01 / CONFIDENCE

A fiery
personality.

And affirmations that inspire confidence.

02 / BIG FEELINGS

A moment
to breathe.

Simple self-regulation tools for everyday emotions—for children and parents, too.

03 / FAITH

Comfort
through faith.

How the names of Allah can support us during challenging moments.

04 / FRIENDSHIP

Someone
unexpected.

A surprise friendship waiting to be discovered.

The story behind the story

A story for
our kids.
And maybe
for us, too.

Inspired by Zehra’s own parenting journey and the reminder that the qualities that can feel overwhelming may also be the qualities that help a child flourish.
