A retired librarian from Paonia, Colorado, Verna Namy has written two delightful children's tales, illustrated by Mary Martin

BaBa Ali and His Magical Pajamas

The story of BaBa Ali and His Magical Pajamas depicts a small portion of life and culture in Iran. Many people wear loose-fitting, elastic-waist, pajama-type pants at home. Since tea is the popular drink at home, it is often served in small glass tea glasses, offered with pieces of cubed sugar. Islamic women keep their hair covered by wearing a headscarf or other forms of head coverings. The name BaBa is the word used for Daddy or Father, and BeBe is often used for Grandmother.
