Bus Ride to Nana and Dido's House

Through the window of a moving bus, a child observes colorful scenes of his family's hometown.

Inspired by the author's hometown of Bihac, the delightful illustrations by artist Dalila Manso whimsically capture a love of Bosnia and Herzegovina as well as the constant pull to return home. Told in Bosnian and English, this bilingual story will delight children of all ages and touch the hearts of the adults of the diaspora.

Nidzara Pecenkovic teaches English and children's literature in Southern California where she lives with her family and dogs. She loves exploring her home country of Bosnia and Herzegovina with her young son who loves buses almost as much as he loves his Nana and Dido.

Dalila Manso was born in Sarajevo where she studied sculpture at the Academy of Fine Arts and obtained a master's degree. After completing her education, she became interested in illustrating and has since worked on numerous projects, collaborations, and commissions.
