About

"This series offers solid glimpses of faraway places, more poetry than a tour guide . . . evocative and inviting" – School Library Journal

Pakistani author Bilal and Pakistani Palestinian illustrator Riaz draw on their personal experiences to create this board book, which includes educational endnotes, as part of the Our World series for very young readers. Joining the Our World series, this board book with endnotes about life in Pakistan was created by a Pakistani author and illustrator team.

Vibrant illustrations paired with Urdu phrases make this one appealing for all ages" – Reem Faruqi, award-winning author of Lailah's Lunchbox
