Mehreen's Reviews > I Am Full Truth, I Am Half Truth, I Am All Lie

This book is the third I have read from Ayesha, and like each of her book, I savored it while it lasted.

It is a story about three cousins whose parents choose a life of seclusion because they are very peculiar looking. In order to further avoid socialization, they lie with all sorts of excuses they can think of. This is something their children pick up and learn from them.

Ayesha raises such an important topic in this book. First of all, it is very common that sometimes we parents resort to making excuses in front of children, without realizing that we are teaching them to lie.

Second important lesson is the outcome of what we expose our child to. In the daily grind, we often forget how our children’s minds are like clean slates, waiting to be written on. They are keen observers and they follow our example. So it’s vey important that we not only tell them about doing good, but also to be an example to them showing how it’s done.

The thing I love most about Ayesha’s work is the way she picks up so many important lessons not only for children, but for parents also. Her books are something everyone can learn from. With Ayesha’s books, not only your children learns a lot, but you as a parent learn a valuable lesson each time.

At the end of each book is an activity section that is primarily for children and is aimed at helping the child internalize lessons from the book in a better way.

The book illustrations are done very nicely, leaving room for a child’s imagination to kick in. The colors are vivid and have a creative-inducing effect.

All in all, a must have for your child’s book shelf. This is a book I will highly recommend for children and parents alike!
