The Gurabia Man: The Armenian Version of The Gingerbread Man

The classic fairy tale The Gingerbread Man retold with an Armenian twist! The Gurabia Man is set in Sevan, Armenia, where the Donigian family is busy baking gurabia cookies for Dzenoont (Christmas). The little gurabia man springs to life and causes all kinds of mischief on the family farm before finally meeting his doom at the paws of a hungry aghves (fox) in the waters of Lake Sevan. Exciting full-color illustrations bring this story to life, depicting beautiful Armenian landscapes and characters that look stereotypically Armenian. The Gurabia Man is written in "Arm-English" (English with some Armenian words) and includes a glossary and pronunciation guide to help readers learn the meanings of the Armenian words and to pronounce them correctly. A delight for Armenian children!
