Farah's Nose: A Celebration of South Asian Heritage and Family

A heartwarming tale about a girl whose disdain for her strong nose turns to love and pride when she discovers the long line of South Asian immigrant women on whose shoulders she stands today.

Farah hates her "strong" nose, despite Dadi Ama telling her that it should make her proud. "How can I be proud of my nose?", Farah wondered.

When Farah visits a South Asian heritage photography exhibition at her local museum, she is surrounded by pictures of determined, proud women with the same nose. As she reads about the immigrant women who bravely moved to new lands, learned new languages and shared their culture, Farah is finally able to see past her nose, to the trailblazers, mothers, leaders, and friends it represents.

Featuring historical facts throughout the story, this beautifully illustrated story introduces all children to South Asian heritage and history.
