A Persian Princess
by Barbara D Goldin (Author) Steliyana Doneva (Illustrator)
A grandmother shares stories with her grandaughter about how she used to celebrate Purim in the old country, Iran.
"Maman joon, you'll really let me wear these?" "It would make me happy if you wore them. They remind me of people and places I miss." "Then I'll be a Persian princess!" said Raya. Raya can't be in the Purim play this year--Purim will be no fun at all! But her grandmother, Maman joon, shares with Raya her sparkly scarves and Persian traditions.
Together they discover how to make their American Purim uniquely Persian, delicious, and fun.

Doneva’s delicate cartoon illustrations are suitably colorful and depict a neighborhood of various ethnicities. Family traditions and intergenerational love are strong and endearing in this fresh look at Purim.
