AN AWARD-WINNING CHILDREN'S BOOK WITH TWO ACCOLADES
Lily Celebrates Nowruz is a warm and engaging picture book that introduces children to Nowruz, the Persian New Year, through Lily's joyful family celebration. As Lily gets ready for the holiday, young readers discover meaningful traditions such as setting the Haft-Seen table, sharing special foods, and welcoming spring with hope, love, and togetherness.
Written in English for children ages 3 to 8, this full-color story is created not only for Persian families but also as a warm invitation for non-Persian children to learn about Nowruz and celebrate alongside Persian friends. Through Lily's excitement, her friendships, and her family's traditions, the story helps children connect with the holiday in a way that feels welcoming, meaningful, and fun.
Perfect for families, classrooms, libraries, and multicultural events, Lily Celebrates Nowruz offers an inviting introduction to Persian heritage while encouraging curiosity, inclusion, and cultural connection.
