Nabiya

* About a spirited young girl who loves football as much as the storybooks that she suddenly discovers in class * Draws children into a magical world of books where they learn to explore stories, and delight in words, pictures and funny moments * Illustrations use a collage of colours, textures, and images to evoke Nabiya's ordinary everyday alongside the fantasy of her imagination * Subtle details in text and pictures create awareness about the reality of the less fortunate, for whom owning a book is so very precious * Shows what difference a sensitive teacher can make to a child's life
