TEHRAN (IBNA) --
Children’s picture book ‘Duck! Rabbit!’, a simple philosophical story for children ‎by the late American author Amy Krouse Rosenthal, a fun story based on the classic ‎duck/rabbit visual puzzle has been published in Persian. ‎
Illustrated by Tom Lichtenheld, the story which follows two narrators has been published in bilingual Persian and English. Bahareh Mohebi is the Persian translator of the book. Zarafeh Books (children and young adult’s department of Sima-ye Shargh Publishing) has released ‘Duck! Rabbit!’ in 36 pages.
New York Times comments on the book: “The text is easy and accessible for the earliest reader, but the ideas are intellectually satisfying for the adults who want to join the fun.”
It is a clever take on the age-old optical illusion: is it a duck or a rabbit? Depends on how you look at it! Readers will find more than just Amy Krouse Rosenthal’s signature humor here; there’s also a subtle lesson for kids who don’t know when to let go of an argument.
Amy Krouse Rosenthal was an American author of both adult and children’s books, a short film maker, and radio show host. She is the only author to have three children’s books make the Best Children’s Books for Family Literacy list in the same year.
She had several books on the New York Times bestseller list: ‘I Wish You More’, ‘Uni the Unicorn’, ‘Plant a Kiss’, ‘Exclamation Mark’, ‘Cookies: Bite-Size Life Lessons’, and ‘Duck! Rabbit!’ obviously.
