Author Biography
I am a graphic designer whose passion for children's books has gradually taken me deeper and deeper into the realms of storytelling and book illustration. The idea for this book has been in my mind for many years and has evolved from Nowruz to Nowruz as my children grew up and passed from preschool to kindergarten to elementary school and beyond! They and their teachers always wanted something cultural and colorful to share in the classroom along with one of the activities such as decorating eggs or preparing to grow a dish of green shoots!
