“Salma the Syrian Chef/ Salma et les saveurs de la Syrie” by Danny Ramadan, has been selected as the theme-aligned picture book for Family Literacy Day in Saskatchewan. The story focuses on a newcomer girl, Salma, who tries to cheer up her mother by cooking her a heartwarming dish with the help of friends.

The theme, “Make Mealtime Family Learning Time,” celebrates everyday opportunities for literacy, connection and skill-building through shared food experiences. From preparing a recipe and writing a grocery list to sharing stories around the table, families across the province are invited to discover the power of learning together during mealtime.
