⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Yasmin the Scientist by Saadia Far ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Yasmin the Scientist by Saadia Faruqi, illustrated by Hatem Aly, published by Picture Window Books, 2021 ⁣
⁣
🌋  Another fun Yasmin adventure!  This time she’s getting ready for the Science Fair.  Her baba (father) wants to help her make a volcano, like he did at her age.  Yasmin, being very independent, wants to do it on her own.  She tries multiple times, but she’s never happy with the result (or the mess!). An accidental discovery leads her to a fun science experiment for the Science Fair. ⁣
⁣
✅  Students will relate to the science fair project (and possibly to getting too much help from a family member!). ⁣
✅  Yasmin models perseverance and creative thinking as well as self confidence. ⁣
✅  Great questions for thinking/discussing and a fun recipe are part of the extensive back matter. ⁣
✅  As in all Yasmin books, Pakistan information and an Urdu glossary are included. ⁣
⁣
⭐  Although I’m not sure if it’s really an easy reader or early chapter book, as I’ve said before, Yasmin is a series you want to include in your elementary library collection! ⁣
