Welcome, Uncle Nowruz!
A Persian New Year's Story
A charming retelling of a Persian folklore tale, this picture book adds a personal touch to the arrival of spring. Nane Sarma—a personification of winter—awaits her old friend Uncle Nowruz (“Nowruz” meaning “new day” and signifying the arrival of spring and the Persian New Year). Somehow, she always misses his yearly visits. This year, she invites her grandchildren to help prepare the New Year’s celebration, hoping they will keep her on track. But, inevitably, spring can only arrive when winter slumbers.
