Shimbir is a delightful narrative which describes a Somali girl’s experience of her first day at school in a new country. When her teacher asks her about the wonderful bird she has painted, all Anisa says is “shimbir”, the Somali word for bird. The class supports Anisa by creating a report about Anisa’s bird and making it into a class big book.
