Some children jump right into decisions. Others need a little more time and that’s okay.

Malik is a bright, thoughtful little boy who likes to think things through. Whether he’s choosing what to wear, getting ready for the day, or making a decision, Malik sometimes needs extra time to process what’s happening around him.

At first, his big brother Jaden doesn’t understand why things seem to take so long. But through patience, love, and encouragement, Jaden learns an important lesson. Everyone moves at their own pace, and kindness means giving the people we love the time and support they need.

With the support of his mom and brother, Malik learns that moving at his own pace is not something to be ashamed of, it’s simply part of who he is.

Why Malik Needs a Little Extra Time is a heartwarming children’s story about patience, emotional processing, empathy, sibling understanding, and growing together.

Perfect for children ages 3–8 (and older), families, educators, counselors, and classrooms, this uplifting story reminds every child and every sibling:

You don’t have to rush to be wonderful.
