Illustrated by
Manal Mirza.
Roohi, a young girl in Pakistan, learns to play the rabab from her grandfather, Neeka Baba, while struggling to find the courage to perform at her school’s Eid concert. The digital illustrations, rich in earthy colors and patterns evoking Ajrak textiles and Balochi embroidery, add depth to the cultural backdrop. The back matter offers insights into the rabab, Pakistani culture, and Pashto terminology, enhancing readers' connection to Roohi's heritage.
