A bilingual picture book for children ages 3-8 about a girl and her big brother - in English, in Persian, and in Persian spelled out in English letters.
The transliteration follows the system created by Mona Kiani of Englisi Farsi, so parents who speak Persian but never learned to read it can read aloud to their kids too.
Hello My name is Dina, and this book is all about my big brother Dariosh.
Together we take care of our dog Keshmesh, pretend to be paleontologists, and drink doogh. Sometimes we get mad at each other, but we always make up in the end.
