![]() ![]() ![]() Which brings me to the second feature that I was thrilled to see, bonus content at the end of the book that includes discussion questions (Think About It, Talk About It), a list of Urdu (a language from Pakistan) vocabulary with definitions, facts about Pakistan, a recipe, and a craft to try. At the same time, it is one that will act as a window as we learn about Pakistani culture. ![]() It is the sort of book that every reader can see themselves in. Each of her stories is completely relatable. The first being the main character Yasmin. Saadia Faruqi hits a home run with Meet Yasmin! It has all of the features that make this an all-around good read for every classroom, library, and home. As a fashionista, Yasmin learns how to turn what once seemed damaged into a newly repurposed piece. We see some of these same characteristics at play as we join Jasmin as a builder and she learns to think like an architectural engineer to add to the class’ collaborative building project. From feeling less than confident, staring at a blank canvas, searching for inspiration, and being willing to try. As a painter, the reader gets to walk through the creative process with Yasmin. As an explorer, she gets to learn about maps, being aware of her surroundings, and having a plan of action when she gets lost. Through four different stories, the reader gets to know Yasmin as an explorer, a painter, a builder, and a fashionista.
