Book: Meet Yasmin by Saadi Faruqi
Ages: 5+
Relationship to country: While reading about Pakistan, we found this great book about a Pakistani-American family
Book in a nutshell: A creative girl who thinks of new ways to do things
The book Meet Yasmin is about a girl named Yasmin. She is part of a Pakistani-American family that lives in the United States. It was cool to see that her family lives right here in the United States like I do, and she is also in 2nd grade just like me.
Yasmin is a creative girl with a lot of personality. Sometimes she's an explorer. Sometimes she makes cool art projects, and sometimes she is a fashionista. I was impressed when she made a whole city out of cardboard, tape, and glue, and I liked how she connected her city together with sidewalks and bridges.
This book was nice because I could read it to my little sister, and she liked it, too.
