The Most Beautiful Village in the World is the first title in Yamo’s Village series.
A young boy, Yamo, lives in the Afghan village of Paghman. The peaceful village is surrounded by the bounty of nature: fruit trees burst into bloom in the spring, and in the summer Yamo’s whole family joins in harvesting apricots, plums, and cherries, breaking into song as they pick.
For the first time, this year Yamo goes to the market in town to sell their harvest with his father. He is filling in for his older brother, who is off fighting in the war. After they have sold their fruit, his father uses the income to buy a white baby lamb.
