Tasveeri Kahani Silsila: Perween Rahman

Description

The graphic novel is a popular genre of literature in English and many other languages. However, so far there were no graphic novels in Urdu (or Pakistan’s regional languages). Graphic stories are a good way to encourage towards reading children and young adults who tend to stay away from books.

Oxford University Press Pakistan has initiated the Tasveeri Kahani Silsila, a series of graphics stories on the lives of leading personalities of Pakistan. The rich pictorial presentation of text in this genre is fascinating for children, and effective in attracting reluctant readers to the world of books.

Perween Rahman is an addition to the series of Graphic Stories based on the life of prominent Pakistanis, published by Oxford University Press, Pakistan. More titles, each describing the life of a great Pakistani, follow in this series which will be available in both English and Urdu.
