Sudabeh AraghiSudabeh Araghi was born in Tehran, where she was immersed in the rich traditions and stories of her homeland from an early age. Following the 1979 revolution, she and her family left Iran and eventually settled in Los Angeles. Though far from her homland, she remained deeply connected to Persian culture, poetry, and mysticism. Sudabeh had the honor of assisting Josiane in the English translation of The Shahnameh, the legendary epic of Iranian mythology. Their journey has since evolved into a new creative venture: bringing the timeless stories of Rumi to life for children and families around the world. Through these tales from the Masnavi, she hopes to inspire joy, wonder, and wisdom in readers of all ages. Read More Read Less
