Reseña del libro "Mona's Nowruz (en Inglés)"
Mona can't wait to tell everyone about Nowruz, the Persian New Year. But not everyone wants to listen. Mona has just spent the most magical night with her family and her beloved grandmother, Maman Bozorg. They set the Haft-Seen table together, and just days before, she leapt over bonfires on Chaharshanbe Suri. Bursting with excitement, she shares every detail with her classmates, from the sprouting sabzeh to the sweet samanu. But her classmates think it's weird. Even her best friend doesn't quite get it. As the days turn gray, Mona starts to wonder if she should hide this part of who she is. Then, on Sizdah Bedar (Nature Day), she meets a dancing, super-cool older girl who shows her the history behind every tradition, and how much pride there is in being Persian. Told in warm, rhyming verse with vibrant illustrations, Mona's Nowruz is a joyful celebration of family, heritage and the courage to let your own light shine. Inside you'll find: The seven symbols of the Haft-Seen table and what each one means Nowruz traditions: spring cleaning, family visits, eydi, the fire festival and Nature Day A "Words to Know" glossary of Persian terms for young readers Perfect for: Persian and Iranian American families sharing their traditions Classrooms learning about world cultures and celebrations Any child who has ever felt different Ages 4–8
