Soraya's Nowruz Dance

By Anahita Tamaddon

A Nowruz story for children ages 4-8, about a girl, her grandmother, and learning that beautiful things take practice - in English, in Persian, and in Persian spelled out in English letters.

When seven-year-old Soraya sees dancers at a Nowruz dance show, she's sure she can master Persian dance in a single day.

Then Mamanbozorg gives her a few lessons, and Soraya starts to understand that all that grace comes from a lot of practice.

Will she be ready to perform at the Sizdah Bedar picnic this Nowruz?

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.
