Our World: Pakistan - Board Book

by Rumaisa Bilal (Author), Nez Riaz (Illustrator)

"This series offers solid glimpses of faraway places, more poetry than a tour guide . . . evocative and inviting" - School Library Journal

Subah bakhair! Come along for a day in Pakistan. Choose a salwar kameez, ride the driverless train, and taste sweet and sour falsa. Pakistani author Bilal and Pakistani Palestinian illustrator Riaz draw on their personal experiences to create this board book, which includes educational endnotes, as part of the Our World series for very young readers.

Subah bikhair! Spend a day in Pakistan starting with prayers at sunrise, then enjoying flaky paratha and creamy lassi before a trip to the market by train.
