My name is Aisha Holland. I am a mother of two boys and a wife to a loving and supportive husband. It has always been a dream of mine to write a children's book. As a child I would get lost in books and I enjoyed every moment! It is my goal to incite the same excitement in children around the world. The Big Brother Story was inspired by my two boys. They have tons of fun together and so much love for each other. Many little readers can relate to having a sibling or a close friend who is like a sibling. May they too get lost in the pages of my book!

Desmond is seven years old and he likes being a big brother to Omari who is two. Desmond likes sports, pizza, and building forts. Omari loves Desmond and he laughs at his older brother's jokes and enjoys listening to his bedtime stories. It is bedtime and Desmond wants to finish his bedtime story, and he wants Omari to stay awake to listen to it. His story is all about them and their adventures together. The story begins with the two brothers going hiking up a big chocolate ice-cream mountain but as Desmond is narrating, Omari is already sleepy. Desmond tries to go on with the story and their adventures together as they go hiking. Will Omari stay awake to hear the full story or will he fall asleep before the tale is finished?
