Mama Shamsi at the bazaar / by Mojdeh Hassani and Samira Iravani ; illustrated by Maya Fidawi. - New York : Dial Books for Young Readers, [2022] - 40 unnumbered pages : chiefly illustrations (color) ; 29 cm

"Mama Shamsi is off to the market, and today, Samira gets to go with her! Samira loves spending time with her grandmother, and she especially loves her chador, which Mama Shamsi wraps around herself every time they leave the house. As the pair get closer and closer to the market, Samira is worried about getting lost in the crowded streets of Tehran, until she has an idea: She can hide under her grandmother's chador. But when Mama Shamsi says no -- if Samira hides under there, the pair of them will look like a strange animal! In imaginary spreads, Samira and Mama Shamsi turn into a donkey, a giraffe, a kangaroo, a turtle -- hiding isn't working at all. But maybe there's some other way for Samira to stay safe with her grandma in the crowded market"--Provided by publisher.
