A Kids’ Own Languages Project

This book was created in the Dandenong Library by a small group of Hazara families, working with artists Farzana Rahimi and Annasophia Larsen, alongside Hazara language consultant, John Gulzari. It is bilingual, written in both Hazaragi and English and the pages read from right to left. The children and their families created illustrations using traditional Hazara embroidery as well as collage and line drawings. Everyone worked together to create the story, translating back and forth between English and Hazaragi as the story developed.
