I Adore You
I Adore You is a children's book, written in rhyming style that follows the journey of Sana a young girl who flees Afghanistan abruptly with her family and eventually settles in Canada.
While almost everything has changed virtually overnight, she finds comfort and constancy in her teddy bear and friend who is her wise counsel and confidante as she navigates life in this new world.
​
Written through the eyes of a child, the experiences of Sana can offer hope to the children of today, who now find themselves displaced amidst conflict, that happiness can be found despite these incredible challenges they face.
​
The story is based on the true-life experiences of Fardous and co-author Jaihoon Nazwadi.
