On Wednesady, August 28th, in the first White Hoopoe (Hodhod-e Sefid) festival, I was awarded the “White Hoopoe medal” for my book “Aunty Oldie’s House is not so Far” (Khane-ye Khale Pirzan noor nist). The jury of the festival consisted of a thousand children and adolscents from all around the country who have selected their most favorite books among those that have been announced as the most-read books in the public libraries.
Five books were selected in categories of children’s poetry; children’s fiction; young adult fiction; children’s non-fiction and young adult non-fiction.
My book, which is a volume of the trilogy “Tales of the Goat with a Bell-foot” (Ghessehay-e Boz-e Zangouleh Paa), is published by Manzoumeh Kherad (Maahak books) and was selected as the best children’s fiction.
