The week before Norouz I received an email from Shabnam Rezaei, one of the creators of Mixed Nuts. She was passing along info about the website Oznoz.com and asked me to share it with my readers. I loved the concept of Babak and Friends from the very first time I saw the cartoon a few years back; so I asked Shabnam is she was interested in sending over a copy of Babak & Friends: A First Norouz DVD & Storybook for a give away!

Here is the synopsis of this great DVD:

Our story starts with little Babak, who feels left out at school, when his friends celebrate holidays that he does not. When his cousins Saman and Sousanne come to visit him from Iran, he is also left out because he does not know the games they like to play. Caught between two cultures, our hero needs some help in figuring things out. Through a magical journey in Persepolis and a warm reception from Amoo Norooz and Haji Firooz, Babak learns to be Persian and Proud!
