Alongside warm and soft illustrations by Anain Shaikh, Marzieh Abbas lovingly weaves the heartfelt true story of Pakistan''s first camel library, which reconnected Pakistani children to the light of books in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Meet Roshan the camel! He spends his days carrying firewood with his human, Murad, to feed their family. One day, a pandemic sweeps through their home country of Pakistan, closing the schools and public libraries. Many children, especially in rural areas, were left without access to learning materials.
Then Roshan and Murad get a call from an organization that wants to help, and they accept a new mission: instead of carrying firewood, they''ll carry books. Day after day, they set out to different villages, Roshan''s back loaded with books to lend out to the children they meet. But they don''t just bring storiesthey also carry joy, hope, and connection.
The back of the book includes photos and more information about the camel library program, as well as fun facts about camels.
