Publisher's Summary
An audiobook celebrating Persian New Year by award-winning author Adib Khorram.
Kian can't wait for Persian New Year! His family has already made a haft-seen, and Kian's baba and maman told him that all the things on it start with S and will bring them joy in the new year. Kian wonders if he could add just one more S, to make his family even happier. Hmm...Sonny the cat's name starts with S - but Sonny knocks the whole table over! Can Kian find seven special somethings to make a new haft-seen before his family arrives for their Nowruz celebration?
What the critics say
“Faidhi’s illustrations add dynamic color and textural and cultural richness to the narrative; the images feel timeless and convey a sense of holiday nostalgia.... A beautiful celebration of Nowruz with familial warmth that embraces child agency, problem-solving, and creativity. A recommended purchase for every library.” (School Library Journal, starred review)
“Khorram, an award-winning author of young adult novels, creates a fun-loving protagonist and an easygoing family unit readers will warm to. Faidhi’s background in animation shines in these cartoon-style illustrations full of action and movement.” (Kirkus)
