A BOOK FOR THE FAMILY

But, But, But

But, But, But... by Sadiqua Iman is a children's bedtime story about a child named Aya who tries to avoid sleep with various excuses, only for her mother to cleverly turn each excuse into a step closer to bedtime. Published in May 2025, the book is a humorous and relatable take on bedtime negotiations, turning a typical struggle into a mindful ritual.
