Tea Books for Children
Following your passion to start a business is the theme of Princess Mamoona Opens a Tea Shop, by Natalie Manzanares and her best friend, Mamoona Sharif, for whom the book is named. “We both love tea and tea snacks. When we travel, we send photos of tea shops to each other,” says Natalie, who lives in Leesburg, Virginia, and has a daughter, age four. The book’s Mamoona finds an empty space in a blue house with a pink door in her town, just perfect for the tea shop she yearns to open. She succeeds with help from the mayor, grouchy due to insomnia, which is cured after she persuades the non-tea- drinker to sip her chamomile tea with lemon juice.
The nature-loving Natalie (“save the bees” is spelled out in bottles on the book cover) is a Mexican-American from San Antonio, Texas, while her co-author is Pakistani-American. The fictional Mamoona wears a Pakistani-style turquoise little girl’s dress, and vivid
tree of life designs beautify the tearoom. “Both our cultures love color, so we wanted the book to reflect that.”
A recipe for chamomile tea with lemon juice is included. For more information, visit princessmamoona.com.
