You could read through the book and tell stories about one of your memorable riskshaw (রিকশা) rides or how kathal (কাঁঠাল) is our national fruit and Dhaka (ঢাকা) is our capital city and how deeply we feel about eating rice (ভাত) for both lunch and dinner. We tried to brainstorm and add pictures or illustrations to represent Bangladesh as much as we could to give the children an idea of what Bangladesh is famous for.

As immigrants, living away from the motherland, we often miss out on typical Bangali street food, the excitement of Puja or Eid, the শীতের পিঠা and last but not least, the joy of being able to buy and read books written in our own language from local bookshops. Not only just the mother tongue but also teaching different languages to Freya has always been very important to us as parents and the beginning of approaching towards that goal almost always starts with teaching her the alphabets. This book was inspired by Freya, my 11 months old daughter whose parents are Bengali, was born in the UK and now lives in Italy. + A Bengali alphabet Book that connects Bengali culture, tradition with modern illustrations creating a unique learning experience.
