BUYING ADVISORY: EL (4-6) – ADVISABLE
AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE
Miriam gets to visit her Iranian grandparents for a whole week each summer. It’s a magical time filled with lots of tasty food. This time, Miriam notes some interesting things about her grandfather - he has gold coins in his pocket, he speaks to a friend in a different language, he sings along with parrots. No wonder Miriam thinks he might be a pirate!
The illustrations were what initially caught my eye. I loved the bright myriad of colors bursting from every page. Secondly, I really loved that it was a picture book about a young girl connecting with her grandfather. Lastly, I want to celebrate the Persian storyline with the Farsi language being featured in the text because I don’t see it that often.
