“By depicting day and night or sun and moon as child characters, illustrator Salimeh Babakhan has given the poem a modern twist in which the children are not on the periphery but in the center of the book.”
— ijb.de (White Ravens 2023)
Sunlight and moonlight, how bright!
Written by Parvin Dowlat-abadi, one of the greatest writers of children’s poetry in Iran, this book embodies the profound philosophy of the rotation of day and night; and in this rotation of sleep and awaking, the colorful beauties of the earth and the sky, children’s passionate and spirited life, and the game of the moon and the sun are narrated most eloquently.
This book is published in an accordion format that can help to show rhythmic and repetitive form of day and night. The characters of Aftab and Mehtab are two children who play the role of day and night. This book is very suitable for reading aloud and performing dramatic activities.
