I”ve already pre-ordered several copies of this book to give as gifts, and I am looking forward to keeping one for myself as well! Kudos to the author and illustrator for undertaking this praiseworthy project!
Sounds like a nice read.
I strongly urge every Armenian family to purchase a copy of this book, because its story line comprehensively depicts the mindset, weaknesses, cleverness and tenacity of the Armenian people and includes very original, high-quality Armenian illustrations.
I was lucky enough to have peaked at this book at a friend’s house. I am happy to share that this is one the best Armenian children’s book I have seen. Ms Kasbarian spared no detail in order to evoke the authentic Armenian experience.
