My Book "Himmat's Courage"
As a teacher, I'm well aware that stories can be a powerful tool to explore important societal issues with young minds. Growing up in a diverse community, I noticed that many people don't fully understand why Sikhs wear turbans.
This is what sparked the creation of "Himmat's Courage." The story accomplishes two main goals. Firstly, it dives into cultural insights, explaining the significance of turbans for Sikhs. Secondly, it shines a light on the pressing issue of bullying, something Sikhs often face due to their turbans. By addressing these themes, my intention is to empower young Sikh readers, offering them a relatable protagonist and a sense of pride through a book that resonates with their experiences. |
