Roots in Your Boots

By Ahva Mohammadi

Sometimes finding where you belong means discovering the roots that have been with you all along.
Lara loves her boots. But surrounded by the sounds, traditions, clothes, and celebrations of her family, she sometimes wonders where she fits.

When Nana sends Lara on a journey to find her "roots," Lara sets off expecting to discover something hidden far away. Instead, through an unexpected adventure, she begins to understand that roots aren't something you can dig out of the ground. They are carried in our stories, our families, our cultures, and in the people we become.

Roots in Your Boots is a warm, imaginative story about identity, belonging, family, and learning to embrace all the pieces that make us who we are.

Written by young author Ahva Mohammadi and illustrated by Niki Mohammadi, this heartfelt story invites young readers to celebrate where they come from-and discover that they can carry their roots wherever their boots may go.
