My Maman: (In English & Persian)

By Anahita Tamaddon

A bilingual picture book for children ages 3-8 about a girl and her maman - 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.

Seven-year-old Dina shares all the reasons she loves her maman - from cooking Ghormeh Sabzi together to the sweet words of endearment, in English and in Persian, that mean "I love you."

Is this book right for your child?
