Auntie Aisha Answers: The Muslim Tweens Ultimate Guide to Growing Up, by Aisha Hussain, is a short book aimed at young Muslims who have questions about their changing bodies, emotions, and more. It is informational, with each chapter arranged by topics, blending spiritual growth and physical changes.
The topics and questions were not framed from a child's point of view, but rather from Auntie Aisha's. She covers a wide array of topics, from physical changes during puberty to emotional and mental health, presenting an Islamic perspective with each response. I appreciated how the language was culturally sensitive and written warmly with consideration.
I think this would be a great book for those in their early tween years to help build up their vocabulary around caring for themselves as they change mentally and physically. I really enjoyed the cover and illustrations throughout.
Auntie Aisha Answers is a pleasant, thoughtful guide for Muslim tweens and parents looking to support their tween in this stage of life.
