A Mehregan story for children ages 4-8, about a girl, her grandmother, and the ancient Persian harvest festival - in English, in Persian, and in Persian spelled out in English letters.
Little Soraya wants to know the secret ingredient in her grandmother's Yazdi teacakes. But first, she has to help Grandma set up the Mehregan sofreh.
As Soraya gathers sunflowers, pomegranates, grapes, and apples, she learns what Mehregan is really about: the love people share with one another, and how harmony between people makes harmony with nature.
And the secret ingredient in those teacakes? Love.
Illustrated in a style inspired by the art of the Qajar era.
Written in English, in Persian, and in Persian spelled out in English letters - using the Englisi Farsi transliteration system - so parents who speak Persian but never learned to read it can read aloud to their kids too.
Is this book right for your child?
- Ages 4-8. Warm, simple text for reading aloud.
- Three ways to read it: English, Persian, and Persian in English letters.
- Mehregan explained - the sofreh, the harvest, the meaning behind it.
- A grandmother and granddaughter, cooking and gathering together.
- Good for Persian and Iranian families, fall and harvest reading, and classrooms exploring celebrations around the world.
