Newly released Tradewind’s title Zia’s Story has received a glowing review from Publisher’s Weekly.

Written by Shahnaz Qayumi, Zia’s Story is set in Afghanistan in the late 1980s, a country in the midst of civil war and experiencing difficult changes under the Taliban law. When Zia’s father is arrested, he is left as the ‘man of the house’, in a country that no longer allows women to work, or girls to go to school. As the review notes, “This plainspoken tale, based on the author’s experiences with her son, is an important one for readers of all ages.”
