Tasveeri Kahani Silsila

Ages 9 years and above

The graphic novel is a popular genre of literature in English and many other languages. However, so far there were no graphic novels in Urdu (or Pakistan’s regional languages). Graphic stories are a good way to encourage towards reading children and young adults who tend to stay away from books.

Oxford University Press Pakistan has initiated the Tasveeri Kahani Silsila, a series of graphics stories the first book of which is based on the life of Abdul Sattar Edhi. More books on the lives of other leading personalities of Pakistan will soon be added to this series.
