Nowruz with Pashmak - Ava Esmaili

nNowruz with Pashmak is an uplifting children's book I wrote and illustrated inspired by my Iranian background. Through this book, I aim to share Persian customs and traditions with younger generations. It is a book sharing the story of Pashmak, a Persian cat, who sets up for Nowruz, (Persian New Year) for the first time, all by herself. She is scared, excited, and nervous all in one! Pashmak translates to cotton candy in Persian.n
