(3) K-3 Illustrated by Anain Shaikh. Roshan the camel narrates this uplifting story about “Pakistan’s first camel library” during the COVID-19 pandemic. Accompanied by human Murad, Roshan travels to remote areas in Pakistan, bringing books and joy to the children there and eventually attracting media attention. Digital illustrations contrast the browns of the desert with the bright colors of the books and the children’s outfits; end pages with photos give more information about the library’s creation and success.
