Amader Choto Russel Sona is a book written on the life story of Sheikh Russel, the youngest son of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman. The book was published in 2019. It was written by Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.

Background
Sheikh Hasina has written the book in the form of a story suitable for children. Written in simple language, the book has created a response among children. The book sheds light on Sheikh Russell's life from his childhood, his time spent with his parents, brothers and sisters, his education and energy and the last time he was killed. The story of going to meet Bangabandhu in jail is revealed on page 21 of the book. The writer said, 'We used to visit my father every 15 days. When Russel was taken, he did not want to come. He used to cry a lot. He was made to understand that Abba's house is a prison and we have come to visit Abba's house. We will go back home. He was brought back home with incredible difficulty. And we could understand the state of mind of the father. At home, when he cried for his father, his mother would understand him and teach him to call his mother father. Mother was called Abba.

Russel, Russel where are you? Mother calls Russel, come, don't eat, come eat. Mother mother mother, where are you mother? Where did mother go - Russel who does not want to sleep without his mother has to hold his mother's neck while sleeping. He used to call his mother Ma, and sometimes he called him Abba. Abba went to jail soon after his birth. The Pakistani authorities imprisoned Abba because of giving 6 points. Russel was just over a year and a half at the time. So he didn't have time to get to know everything well. Russel is our favorite; Being the youngest, his love has no limits. If he ever feels a little pain, we all feel the pain. All of us siblings always keep an eye on him so that he doesn't get even a scratch. What a beautiful fluffy baby. When I see it, I feel like pressing the cheek and caressing it. Russell was born on October 18, 1964, in my bedroom at Dhanmondi Road No. 32. The second floor was not finished yet. In other words, mother has built one house at a time. Homework is going on little by little. We live on the ground floor. The northeast side room belongs to me and Kamal. Russel was born in that room at half past one. Abba has gone to Chittagong for an election meeting. Fatima Jinnah is the presidential candidate. Sarvadliya Oikya Parishad has entered the elections with a front against Ayub Khan. All political parties are against President Ayub Khan. In those days there were no mobile phones. The land phone is the hope. Arrangements have been made so that the news goes to the father at night. The moments before Russel's birth were very anxious. Me, Kamal, Jamal, Rehana and Khoka Kaka at home. With elder brother and sister-in-law. A doctor and nurse also came. Time does not pass. Jamal and Rehana sleep for a while and wake up. We are also awake with sleepy eyes and the arrival of a new guest is heard. This is how Sheikh Russel's life story from his birth to his brutal death by an assassin is presented in the book.
