A warm, joyful celebration of Persian grandparents, family love, and Iranian heritage - told in both Farsi and English.
My name is Dina, and I have the most amazing Persian grandparents in the world.
Together we dance to Persian music, sing songs from long ago, explore colorful bazaars, and look at old photographs that tell the story of our family. Through Maman Bozorg and Baba Bozorg's eyes, I discover where I come from - and who I am.
This bilingual Farsi-English picture book invites children ages 3-8 into the everyday magic of a Persian American family: the sights, the sounds, the stories, and the love that cross every border and every generation.
Perfect for:
- Bilingual families raising children with Farsi and English at home
- Iranian American and Persian diaspora families
- Children learning Farsi as a heritage language
- Grandparents sharing their culture with grandchildren
- Classrooms celebrating multicultural stories and diverse families
- Gift-givers looking for a meaningful Persian children's book
A story about grandparents is a story about roots. And roots are what give us the strength to reach.
Give your child the gift of their heritage. Read it together - in Farsi, in English, or both.
