BaBa Ali and His Magical Pajamas

The illustrated children's story, BaBa Ali and His Magical Pajamas, depicts a small portion of life and culture in Iran. Many people wear loose-fitting, elastic-waist, pajama-type pants at home. Since tea is the popular drink at home, it is often served in small glass tea glasses, offered with pieces of cubed sugar. Islamic women keep their hair covered by wearing a headscarf or other forms of headcoverings. The name BaBa is the word used for Daddy or Father, and BeBe is often used for Grandmother.
