Բարեւ Կրիայ/Parev Grya (Hello, Turtle) is about a little tortoise experiencing the four seasons.

“I am very excited about this book. Tortoises are my favorite animals, and I love drawing them,” said Arzoumanian. “This book has gone through many iterations over the past 15 years. I am so thrilled to finally witness its release.”

Arzoumanian, a teacher at St. Stephen’s Armenian Elementary School in Watertown, Mass., strongly believes in preserving and promoting the Western Armenian language, which motivates her publication of Armenian books specifically designed for young children.

Parev Grya features Arzoumanian’s delightful and vibrant original illustrations.
