Samad Behrangi

Samad Behrangi is still one of the best-known and best-loved authors of Persian children's books. This is possibly because his works are allegories for circumstances that his young readers encounter in their everyday lives, and they could easily identify with his characters.  His books contain social themes of poverty and injustice, and are considered the best works written for children in the Persian language in terms of structure and emotional impact. His most famous work, The Little Black Fish (Mahi-ye Sia-he Koochaloo), won first prize at the 6th International Children's Book Fair at Bologna (Italy) in 1969.
