“Imagine being the parent of a small child who wants to read a bedtime story, but you’re just learning English and you can’t find children’s books in your native language. That has been the plight for many Somali parents new to [Minnesota], but the Minnesota Humanities Commission hopes to change that with the publication of four children’s books with both English and Somali text. The first, ‘The Lion’s Share’ (‘Qayb Libaax’), will be available in October.”
