About this listen

How can a flower be unusual? What makes it so different from other flowers? Aisha takes us on a fascinating journey of how kindness, faith, compassion, and generosity allow the most unusual beings to become friends. Her imagination of portraying simple everyday objects into emotional characters will delight the young and old alike.

We are so preoccupied with today's fast-paced life that we frequently ignore the pains and problems of those close to us, the three other short stories in this book acknowledge such issues and how they can be resolved through simple courtesy and basic humanity. Aisha has iterated these actions in a manner most children can relate to easily.

  • "Take Flight": A little girl's disappointment turns into a pleasant surprise.
  • "The Bridge": Troubles are not permanent. That is what a bridge discovers after being bullied continuously.
  • "The Shark": A little help from friends and a simple prayer overcome the constant threats of a dangerous predator.

These whimsical stories bring humor and charm into every child’s life.

Aisha Bakhrani is a 13-year-old sweet girl whose imagination knows no bounds. She writes and narrates her thoughts in the most creative ways which always leave listeners with smiles on their faces in anticipation of what is coming next. Aisha has written many short stories, which are being compiled into books and audiobooks. The first in the series is The Unusual Flower and Other Short Stories for Children with several others to follow.
