It Ain't So Awful, Falafel

I am very excited about a great new diverse book, It Ain't So Awful, Falafel by Firoozeh Dumas. This book tells the story of a girl coming to America from Iran and the struggles that she faces. Because it takes place in the 1970s after the U.S. Embassy in Iran is invaded by anti-American students, Zomorod must deal with animosity from her peers. More diverse books are coming out in the YA market today, so the teen market is truly ready for Ronit and Jamil, due out in January, 2017!
