Khatti: A book about a Line

This is an informational illustrated book about teaching a series of lines. KHATTI is the name of the main character in the book, which means Line in the Persian language. This book has a unique way of introducing a line to children. Initially, a child sees the character’s line of action, which is related to the poetry of Khatti, and the name of the line that has been introduced on each page, which is completely different from knowing that as a trace line. The second, Is an interaction idea behind the book. The consistency of the idea in pages with KHatti’s character made him a good friend. The child loved to show the action with his body which helped him to remember the differences.

The idea of the book started with a poem that I wrote during my summer classes at Kanoon, and I made a snake doll and show my students how he reacts to the poem. They found him funny and engaging. I saw how some of my kids like to shape the doll while listing the poem or showing me the action with their body movement, So I think maybe it’s a good idea to put it all together in one book.
