Our World: Pakistan

"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.
