A Story That Ties Childhood Together
Every so often, a children’s book lands in your hands that feels like it was stitched together with love, patience, and a wink of childhood magic. Loops by Jashar Awan is one of those rare gems — a story that celebrates the messy, marvelous journey of learning something new.
At its heart, Loops follows a determined child who is proudly stepping into the world of “big‑kid shoes.” The only catch? Those laces have a mind of their own. They twist, they flop, they escape — and yet, the child keeps trying.
And that’s where the beauty of this book shines. It’s not about getting it right the first time. It’s about the courage to try again, even when the loops feel impossible.
Bold Art, Big Feelings, and Beautiful Lessons
Awan’s illustrations feel like a burst of childhood energy — bright, expressive, and full of motion. Each page captures the wobble, the determination, and the tiny triumphs that make growing up such an adventure.
But the real magic is the emotional honesty. The child doesn’t hide their frustration. They don’t pretend tying laces is easy. They simply keep going — and that message is powerful.
This book becomes a gentle reminder to little ones (and honestly, to us grown‑ups too) that learning takes time, patience, and a whole lot of heart.
Why Families Will Love Loops
This book is a wonderful fit for:
- Preschoolers learning new skills
- Kindergarteners building independence
- Early readers who love expressive, playful storytelling
- Families who want books that spark confidence and conversation
It’s the kind of story that invites children to try, fail, giggle, and try again — all while feeling supported and seen.

Little kids will love this book because it shows that learning doesn’t have to be perfect. It can be fun, silly, and a little messy, and that’s okay.

Her words say it all. Kids recognize authenticity, and Loops delivers it with heart.
Final Momma Braga Thoughts
Loops is more than a story about shoelaces. It’s a celebration of perseverance, confidence, and the tiny victories that shape childhood. It’s warm, relatable, and full of charm — the kind of book that becomes a family favourite and a classroom staple.
If you’re looking for a story that encourages your little one to keep trying, keep smiling, and keep looping those laces, this book is a beautiful place to start.
Until next time…Happy Parenting!
