MY REVIEW
Mimi & Ary by Rashad Mirzayev — A Heartfelt Journey Through Fear and Wonder
Every once in a while, a children’s book comes along that reminds us adults why we ever fell in love with stories in the first place. Mimi & Ary by Rashad Mirzayev is one of those rare books — gentle, wise, and quietly transformative. I picked up Mimi & Ary thinking I’d read a few pages before bed. Instead, I ended up finishing it in one sitting — then flipping back through the pages just to linger on a few lines that stuck with me. On the surface, it’s a beautifully illustrated story about a young girl lost in a magical jungle, but underneath, it’s a reflection on fear, courage, and what it means to grow.
What I loved most about Mimi & Ary is its sincerity. There’s no rushing, no flashy plot twists….. just a heartfelt journey told with warmth and kindness. You can feel the author’s care on every page. Rashad Mirzayev writes not just to entertain, but to nurture….. to remind readers (young and old alike) that fear can coexist with courage, and that love often begins with understanding. The illustrations by Ken Sheykh are everything too as they add so much magic to the story itself. The colors feel alive, wrapping the story in a soft glow…. a visual reminder that the world can be both wild and welcoming. And while the book is written for children, I found myself reflecting, too. The conversations between Mimi and Ary are filled with gentle truths that reach across ages.
I loved this story and give it 5 stars for sure. Whether you’re a parent looking for a meaningful bedtime story to read to your child, or an adult who still believes that children’s books can hold deep truths, Mimi & Ary is a lovely reminder that courage often starts with curiosity. This book is the perfect gift for any child’s reading collection too.
