Book Summary

The story is about two sisters, Rubina and Sana, and a big red lollipop. Rubina is invited to a birthday party and is made to bring her younger sister, Sana. At the party, Rubina gets a big red lollipop, but Sana gets a small one and eats it quickly. Sana then takes Rubina's lollipop, making Rubina very sad. Later, when Sana is invited to a party, she doesn't want to bring her youngest sister, Maryam. Rubina reminds Sana how she felt when her lollipop was taken. Sana learns a lesson about empathy and sharing when she returns from her party with two lollipops and gives one to Rubina.
