French children to enjoy reading Iranian story book

TEHRAN – A French version of the Iranian children book “What If the Snowman Won’t Melt?” by Seyyed Mehdi Shojaei was published in France.

 

Alain Serres has translated the book under the title of “Le Bonhomme de Neige Géant” into French and Rue Du Monde Publications has published the book in France.

 

The book tells the story of a big snowman built by village children. However, the snowman, rather than being grateful to the villagers for creating him, instead demands guards and ice cubes since he doesn’t want to melt, and this creates problems for the people.
