Book Overview
A Yalda Night story for children ages 4-8, in English, in Persian, and in Persian spelled out in English letters.
It's winter, and six-year-old Soraya is sad. It's too cold and too dark to play outside.
Everything changes when she discovers what her family does on the longest, darkest night of the year. Gathered together for Yalda, Soraya snacks on nuts and sweets, plays with her cousin, and dances to her dad's music - and finds the warmth she needs to get through the winter.
Illustrated in a style inspired by the art of the Qajar era.
Written in English, in Persian, and in Persian spelled out in English letters - using the Englisi Farsi transliteration system - so parents who speak Persian but never learned to read it can read aloud to their kids too.
