Parents, Teachers, and Library Leaders

Dear Parents, Teachers, and Library Leaders,

Children are naturally curious. They ask questions about the world, about history, and about where we all come from. One of the greatest gifts we can give young readers is the opportunity to explore the past in a way that sparks imagination, builds knowledge, and inspires lifelong learning.

The stories in this series were created with a simple mission: to introduce children to the ancient history and civilizations of Iran and the wider world through adventure, storytelling, and discovery.

Through the characters of Aryan, Ariana, their archaeologist grandfather, and the wise Homa, children travel through time to real historical places such as Shahdad, Jiroft, Tepe Yahya, and other remarkable archaeological sites. Each story is inspired by genuine archaeological discoveries and introduces young readers to early technologies, ancient cultures, and the achievements of some of the world’s earliest civilizations.

Our goal is not only to entertain children, but also to help them:

• Develop curiosity about history and science
• Learn how archaeologists discover the past
• Appreciate the richness of ancient cultures
• Understand that knowledge and creativity connect people across time and geography

We believe that stories are powerful educational tools. When children follow an exciting adventure, they are not just reading—they are learning, imagining, and asking new questions about the world.

These books are designed to be enjoyed:

• At home by families reading together
• In classrooms as part of cultural and historical learning
• In libraries as resources that inspire young explorers

We hope this series encourages children to become curious learners, respectful global citizens, and future discoverers of knowledge.

Thank you for supporting children’s reading, imagination, and education.
