About this listen

From Award-winning author Adib Khorram comes a unique picture book—adapted for audio—about what you risk losing when all you care about is winning.

Winning is Bijan's favorite thing. And Bijan always wins. But after declaring himself the winner of drawing and dinosaurs and even of lunch, Bijan notices that his friends aren't so keen to play with him. Could it be that some things, like friendship, can't be won?

Critic reviews

2025 CBC Favorites Award Top Ten Title

“This dynamic socio-emotional story by Khorram examines responses to interpersonal challenges, as well as ways to both draw boundaries and welcome back someone who’s trying to make changes.” – PW

“Khorram’s simple, expressive text uses fantastical elements to elevate a familiar story of social-emotional growth to a thoughtful parable that will leave readers mulling what it means to be a true friend….An inspired tale that puts a clever spin on a well-trod message of friendship and generosity of spirit.” – Kirkus

“In this delightful picture book, a young boy discovers that winning is not always the most important thing...children will find themselves learning from Bijan and enjoying his story at the same time.” – School Library Journal

“A social-emotional learning picture book to champion.” – Booklist
