Will definitely be adding to my school library as a fun, positive identity representation to include in our transitional chapter book section.

Great for kids who have a good start on reading skills but still like lots of pictures. Full color illustrations adorn every page and the text is large. The storylines are charming, weaving in details about Yazmin's life as a Pakistani-American girl effortlessly. The back of the book has a glossary and pronunciation guide along with a recipe for one of the traditional drinks discussed in the stories.

This is a really cute book about a little 2nd grade girl, Yasmin, who is Pakistani American. She has different adventures that make her have to think things through to reach a solution. In one she has to learn to read a map. In another, she has to figure out what to do when she rips some of her mother's clothes. And my favorite is when she realizes that when given a project that involved building structures, that she could build the bridges that connected all the other buildings that others had built.
Good way to allow kids to see themselves, in a positive light.
Loving family, and fun spunky young girl.
Thanks to Netgalley for making this book available for an honest review.

This book is simple and relatable, while also educating children about a new culture. Yasmin is a strong, spunky character that a lot of kids will see themselves in.
Thanks, NetGalley, for the read.

Absolutely adorable early chapter book (series) about Yasmin, a spunk second grader not afraid to try her hand any anything! Author is Pakistani American. Wonderful #OwnVoices choice for early readers.
