A series created out of love…
It all begins with an idea. As a new mother, creating this book series was out of pure love for my children and all children of Armenian heritage to feel represented in American literature. Through the process I realized it is a book to celebrate one another’s cultures, to learn, explore and share our similarities and differences with love.
Apart from my children, this book series is the second most proud work I have produced.

My eight year old loved it! She said it was so awesome that the Armenian words were written in English so she can read them. She also loved learning the words of other cultures. Bravo! I definitely recommend this book!

I bought 3 as Christmas gifts for my nieces and nephews and they loved it! The book is soft velvety to the touch and really high quality. I bought it because of the story behind it and it’s purpose. It’s an amazing book for Armenian American children to learn about their culture and share it with their friends. I’m looking forward to more books from this author.
