[DiscoverKelpies @DiscoverKelpies]

Abdullah's Bear Needs a Name is based on @YHanifWrites real-life experience of children from South Asian backgrounds defaulting to European names for a teddy bear. @SophieBenmouyal's art is full of authentic details - like the names of the children Yasmin worked with on the wall!

[DiscoverKelpies @DiscoverKelpies]

Abdullah is given a teddy for Eid, but he can't figure out its name! Then after hearing a family story from Pakistan Abdullah has an idea - maybe the bear has a name from his own culture... @YHanifWrites
