TEHRAN- A Persian translation English author and illustrator James Norbury’s book “The Way to a Beautiful World” has recently been published by Milkan Publications in Tehran.

The book has been translated into Persian by Mahshid Shabanian.

In “The Way to a Beautiful World,” bestselling author James Norbury returns to the gentle universe of Big Panda and Tiny Dragon. The two friends discover a map promising a route to the most beautiful place in the world and embark on a hopeful journey.

Their path, however, is not straightforward. They must navigate seven distinct ordeals, each a demanding environment that mirrors an internal struggle—such as hopelessness, anger, and self-doubt. As they support each other through these trials, a profound lesson emerges: while one may enter a situation in conflict, it is always possible to leave it with peace and calm.

Their adventure is enriched with help from other beloved Norbury characters, including the wise Tiger from “The Cat Who Taught Zen” and the loyal Wolf from “The Dog Who Followed the Moon.” Their perseverance leads them to a surprising and wondrous discovery about the true nature of the ‘most beautiful place.’

Presented through seven beautiful, interconnected vignettes, this uplifting book serves as a reminder of the power of perspective and encourages readers to find the extraordinary hidden within the ordinary. It is a meditation on friendship, resilience, and the transformative journey toward inner peace.
