-
You're a teacher -
A new student from Afghanistan joins your class, mid-semester. He’s never been to school before, nor does he speak English. You’re among the first faces he encounters in a new country. Your task: make him feel at home.

-

What if there was a book with cartoons reflecting his own culture, in his own language?
