About the Author
Samad Behrangi was an influential Iranian writer, teacher, and social critic born in 1939 in Tabriz, Azerbaijan, whose works profoundly impacted children's literature and social awareness in the Middle East. Drawing from his experiences as an educator in rural schools, Behrangi crafted stories that blended folklore, adventure, and subtle political commentary to address themes of inequality, education, and cultural identity. His commitment to using literature as a tool for empowerment led him to write in Azerbaijani and Persian, often challenging oppressive structures through accessible narratives. Tragically drowning at age 29 in 1968 under mysterious circumstances, Behrangi's legacy endures as a symbol of resistance and creativity, inspiring generations of readers and writers to question authority and value human dignity.
