Nazila Fathi makes Persian history accessible and fun. Her books bring these colorful characters to life and are a pure delight. Early readers will adore these stories, and their parents might learn something too! -Eric Weiner, best-selling author of The Geography of Bliss, among other titles These children's books embrace Iranian heritage --PRI, The World (Listen Here) Exiles, they say, are custodians of dead treasures. Nazila Fathi, herself a treasure of a journalist, with a knack for narrative and an eye for the grandeur of Persian civilization, has embarked on a noble effort to make the next generation of Iranian exiles conscious and proud custodians of the Iranian part of their cultural heritage. -Abbass Milani, historian, professor, director of the Iranian Studies program at Stanford University, author of The Shah, among others This wonderful book seems to be about a visionary scientist who lived long ago and helped invent modern medicine. It is also more than that: an inspirational story about the thrill of learning, the challenge of discovery, and the way people can make a difference in our world. Highly recommended for children of all ages. --Steven Kinzer, author of All The Shah's Men, among other titles Hailing from ancient Persia, the tales and triumphs of the king of Babylon and the father of modern medicine are written in an easy to grasp language that appeals to both children and their carers. They make for instant immersion in adventures that took place centuries ago. -Persian Educational Foundation
