Empty and Me: A Tale of Friendship and Loss (English and Persian Edition)
In this bilingual Persian-English picture book, a little girl learns how to live with the gentle giant that embodies her grief.
After a young girl's mother dies, Empty appears and silently takes up the big blank space left behind. For some time, the girl can't connect with her dad or any friends, and Empty is her closest companion. But then, a happy reminder of her mom pops up one day, and this bit of joy helps the little girl open up to the world around her. Empty stays around, but the little girl starts to connect with others and share new moments of happiness with them.
