Review NPR Best Books of the Year Selection… "Mother-daughter writing team Mojdeh Hassani and Samira Iravani explain in their authors note that they based this cozy, whimsical outing on Hassanis childhood in Tehran in the 1960s and 70 . . . they evoke the familiar warmth of a childs relationship with a beloved grandparent." —BCCB, starred review"The mother-daughter team of authors based the story on their own experiences with a grandmothers chador as a safe place to shelter. Hassani also pulled from her memories of the bazaar she visited during her childhood in Tehran . . . An affectionate portrayal of a grandmother and grandchild that also showcases a cultural garment." —School Library Journal"The rhythmic, playful text beautifully captures the dual patter of an excited child and a bustling city . . . richly hued, often comedically exaggerated illustrations . . . A sweet and gentle story about an oft-misunderstood garment." —Kirkus"Each of the pairs rhymed exchanges convey a sweet bond as detailed by Hassani and Iravani, who describe Tehran as a magical city and the chador . . . Fidawis collage-like digital illustrations overlay realistic city scenes with playful images of Mama Shamsis imaginings, sweetly blending the realistic with the fantastical." —Publishers Weekly Details ISBN0593110617 Author Maya Fidawi Pages 40 Audience Age 4-8 Language English Illustrator Maya Fidawi ISBN-10 0593110617 ISBN-13 9780593110614 Publisher Penguin Putnam Inc Format Hardcover Imprint Dial Books for Young Readers,US Country of Publication United States Illustrations FULL-COLOR ILLUSTRATIONS Year 2023 Publication Date 2023-02-28 US Release Date 2023-02-28 UK Release Date 2023-02-28 Edited by Gillian The New York Times Magazine Birth 1939 Death 1855 Affiliation Center for Development Research (ZEF), University of Bonn, Germany Position Toshiba Professor of Media, Arts, and Sciences Qualifications PsyD DEWEY 813.6 Audience Children / Juvenile NZ Release Date 2023-04-10 AU Release Date 2023-04-10 We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
