TEHRAN – A Swedish translation of “A Heart Bigger than the World” by Iranian children’s book author Erfan Nazar-Ahari has recently been published in Sweden.
Nazar-Ahari attended a ceremony at the Imam Ali Islamic Center in Stockholm on Saturday to promote the book, which was translated by Hushang Kowsari.
She is scheduled to hold review sessions in the cities of Jonkoping, Karlskrona and Malmo this week.
The book was released with a CD, which contains Reza Kharaqani’s animation based on the book. Mohammad Nosrati is the composer of the music in the animated movie.
The book was one of 22 entries to the Peace Story project of the Nami Island International Book Festival in South Korea in 2010.
Ali Buzari is the illustrator of the book, which was published by the Institute for the Intellectual Development of Children and Young Adults in Persian, English, French and Italian.
The book tells story of a little girl who has been wishing to come to the world for the past 1000 years, but God has denied her requests. She finally is allowed to come to the world, but she leaves her heart in paradise, which compels her to spend all of her life searching for her heart.
