Meet Khayyam, the boy who thinks he’s a car.
Like a car, he honks, he chugs, he zooms all day through
life’s adventures.
But others don’t see him the way he sees himself.
One day he meets a friend who shows him a new way to
see himself and everyone else...
The Centre for Comparative Literature and Creative Arts (CLCA) presents Professor Bilal Tanweer's debut children's book, The Boy Who Thought He Was a Car, illustrated by fellow CLCA faculty Mahnoor Azeem. This special event is dedicated to the children of the LUMS community and open to all staff, students, faculty, and alumni.
The event will feature a reading of the book, followed by a conversation with the author and illustrator on the book's creative development.
Snacks will be provided, and books will be available for purchase.
