TEHRAN – Iran’s Institute for Intellectual Development of Children and Young Adults (IIDCYA) has published British writer Jeanne Willis’ “Boa’s Bad Birthday” in Persian.

The book has been translated into Persian by Atusa Salehi.

The book tells the story of Boa who has received only ridiculous presents for his birthday, things requiring hands, feet, hair, nose and ears, until a dung beetle shows up with a dung ball containing a seed inside that grows into a wonderful tree.
