Yasmin Hanif - Abdullah's Bear needs a Name! - Glasgow Sauchiehall St

Abdullah is given a teddy for Eid, but he can't figure out what the bear's name is -- it's not Edward or Bertie or Olivia. Then after hearing a family story from Pakistan Abdullah has an idea -- maybe the bear has a name from his own culture.Yasmin Hanif wrote Abdullah's Bear Needs a Name! after working with schoolchildren on a project to tackle the lack of diversity in children's books. The story was inspired by the real-life experience of children from South Asian backgrounds defaulting to traditionally European names for a teddy bear. Sophie Benmouyal's bold and fun illustrations are full of character, texture and authentic details.
