Dear Amir,
I am an American with great interest and love for Iran, and I’m studying Persian. How can I read the Persian ?? That would really help me – being able to compare the two versions.. Also, What about an audio tape to accompany it for all those Iranian-Americans and for someone like me??? I can buy it thru itunes and this will be additional income for you. I think it would be a great resource for people studying Persian no matter where they are…Thank you, Elish / New York
I walked into my local public library and saw Zahra’s Paradise on display in the Young Adult graphic novel section! I immediately checked it out and also shared it with my book club. I’m encouraged to see the plight of Iran’s oppressed is reaching even to a small suburb of Austin, Texas.

Good thinking, but actually, Zahra's Paradise already exists in Turkish, in book form, Cennati n Zahra, and you can buy it at your local Turkish book store. It happened recently and hasn't been posted to the web site yet.
Enjoy,

Good work. Like it a lot. One critique. I would expect you to make Turkish among the available languages options. There are many Turkish speaking Iranians, there are 70 million Turks in Turkey, there are many Azerbaijanis in Azerbaican, You could also add the languages of the bordering countries of Iran. They are much more closer to Iran than Portugal, Korea and Sweden.
Hope to see Zehra's stories in Turkish. Best,

Oh I guess they’ve got the controls on with this one… I hope it changes. I’d expect it to be blocked in Iran, not Brazil or Mexico!
… if it blocks in the embedded video above, you should be able to see it here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-17135806
blocked in Brazil too

Ironically as it is the BBC it is also blocked in the UK.
The Zahra’s Paradise video is blocked in Mexico
