Fun, funny, and empowering! When Maman Bozorg visits little Rudy, she teaches her granddaughter that her voice matters. Like a lioness, they both have a loud roar and don’t have to shrink who they are to fit anyone else’s expectations. With Persian family life illustrated in detail, transliterated Persian words sprinkled throughout, and a wonderful message for all kids, I am totally obsessed with this new book!

2️⃣ Mama Shamsi at the Bazaar by Mojdeh Hassani and Samira Ravani, illustrated by Maya Fidawi 🇮🇷 Set in #Tehran in the 70s, the main character is a little girl afraid of being lost at the bazaar and begs her Mama Shamsi to let her hide under her chador! Hilarious and imaginative responses ensue that create great opportunities to playact and be silly with your kids 🐫🦒🦘
