Members of BRAC's girls club help write a book


Based on stories written by 20 participants in BRAC’s Social and Financial Empowerment of Adolescents (SoFEA) Program in Bangladesh, Shuba and the Cyclone is a playful children’s book about the adventures of an endangered Ganges river dolphin in the wake of a cyclone. The book also highlights the inspirational work of BRAC’s programs in Bangladesh and features BRAC’s Farzana Kashfi as an inspirational female role model.

Shuba and the Cyclone is the tale of a Ganges River dolphin who must find her way home after a cyclone. Published by the nonprofit organization Dot-to-Dot Children’s Books, the book is based on stories written by participants in BRAC’s SoFEA program in Damrai, Bangladesh. Dot-to-Dot’s creative writing team selected favorite elements written during the workshop and combined them into a single story, making Shuba and the Cyclone an expression of the collective creativity of the young women who helped write it.

Please join us in giving a global voice to BRAC’s newest young authors and spreading the word about BRAC by sharing Shuba and the Cyclone with children in your life and recommending it to your friends and family. 40% of the proceeds will be donated to BRAC when you enter the promo code BRAC at the time of purchase.
