B

A little girl named Tat o steals some cherry plums before grabbing a brush. She joins brothers and sisters outside, where they wet, soap and wash the rugs (毯子).

“We scrub. Brushes bop-bop-bop,” Astrid Kamalyan writes. “Until our hands are warm. Until our knees and toes feel pain a little. Until it’s time to clear the foam (泡沫). Time to slide!”

“I think it’s the favorite activity in Armenia,” says Anait Semirdzhyan, who illustrated Bábo. Both Kamalyan and Semirdzhyan are from Armenia — they moved to the United States within three years of each other and they both grew up washing rugs with their grandmothers.

“There are no formal rules or ways,” Kamalyan explains. “You just do it and have fun with it.”

Kamalyan wrote Bábo:A Tale of Armenian Rug - Washing Day in 2020. She recommended Semirdzhyan to be the illustrator.

Semirdzhyan was excited when she got the manuscript (手稿). “I never, ever expected that I would illustrate a book about my childhood, ” she says. Plus, here was a story she could draw from memory - she didn’t need to research what the buildings or streets would look like, or what Armenian kids would wear.

Semirdzhyan used perspective and angles (视角和角度). Some scenes zoom in (放大) on Tato’s feet, as she walks down stone steps to meet her grandmother. Other illustrations zoom out on a scene of the whole neighborhood chasing escaped chickens. There’s a bird’s eye view of the carpets as the kids roll them up — “Figures and patterns all shine bright - dragons, eagles, diamonds and crosses, leaves and flowers in amazing weaves. ”

Even though Kamalyan has very faithfully and accurately described the process of rug-washing, she does have one word of caution for readers: Do not try this at home!“When the rug is soaped, it’s very slippery, ” she cautions.
