What is The Yasmin series by Saadia Faruqi about?

Created from 2018 onwards, Saadia Faruqi’s Yasmin series follows a spirited Pakistani American second-grader whose curiosity and imagination turn everyday problems into opportunities to think creatively. Across illustrated early-reader adventures, Yasmin explores her neighbourhood, experiments at school, helps in her community and tries out roles including chef, scientist, gardener, detective and ice skater. Her multigenerational family, including her parents and grandparents, provides warmth and encouragement as she learns from mistakes and perseveres. With short chapters, accessible language and bright illustrations, the series suits children aged around five to seven, especially developing independent readers. Content is gentle, with only mild mishaps, worries and momentary everyday peril.
