    Praise for Seven Special Somethings: A Nowruz Story

    * “Faidhi’s illustrations add dynamic color and textural and cultural richness to the narrative; the images feel timeless and convey a sense of holiday nostalgia. . . . A beautiful celebration of Nowruz with familial warmth that embraces child agency, problem-solving, and creativity. A recommended purchase for every library.”—School Library Journal, starred review

    “Khorram, an award-winning author of young adult novels, creates a fun-loving protagonist and an easygoing family unit readers will warm to. Faidhi’s background in animation shines in these cartoon-style illustrations full of action and movement.”—Kirkus
