    Hi Will,
    A friend forwarded me these blogs of Iranian children's book art. They are absolutely beautiful and inspiring. I am Iranian myself and have several of the books from when I was a child. I featured some of them in a book I designed and co-authored titled, Urban Iran. Here's a link to it: http://markbattypublisher.com/books/urban-iran/

    If you are still looking for a Farsi translator, I can help somewhat. I would also like to put together Iranian children's book art in book form. Maybe we can collaborate on this.

    Charlotte

    I'm an Iranian and I don't think anybody else has enjoyed these works as much as I did. Thanks for the post and I'm already a follower.

    Wow, these are magical, everything about Iranian art, music and literature captivated me! I am wanting to start to learn Persian, does anyone know where these books can be bought? I can't find anything on the Internet, I was thinking children's books would be a good way to start lean ring as I am guessing that they would be quite simple linguistically... Any help would be much appreciated :)
