Eli and the Uncles

Say hello and good night to Uncle Hanif, Uncle Rashin, Uncle Nooru, and five more uncles, each proudly showing off a spectacular beard.

Eli spends the day with his eight loving uncles, each taller than the last and full of personality, from Aman the dancer to Riz the joke teller. Every uncle also has his own remarkable whiskers, short or long, curly or straight, bristly or soft. As Eli says good night to them one by one, their magnificent beards become part of his cozy bedtime routine. With warmth and playful humor, author Jehan Madhani and illustrator Rashin Kheiriyeh create a lively countdown to bedtime that will leave young readers dreaming of whiskers instead of sheep.
