‘The Cat’s Become So Nice,’ a book for kids written by children’s author Farhad Hassanzadeh, 55, will soon be released by Tehran-based Elmi-Farhangi Publishing Company (EPC).
The publishing house in recent years has extended its activities to books for children and young adults and initiated a project in collaboration with a group of writers. The project includes 10 children’s stories on the topic of peace, according to the website of Roozrang magazine of visual arts (roozrang.com).
The book is Hassanzadeh’s contribution to the joint project. He submitted his work to the publisher last summer. It has a number of illustrations created by painter and illustrator Ghazaleh Bigdelou, 36.
EPC was founded in 1953, and during the past five decades, it has collaborated with over a thousand Iranian scholars, writers, translators and editors.
