"The Rolling Pumpkin"
This story is a traditional Iranian folktale. The hero of the story is an old woman who travels through a forest to visit her daughter who lives in another village. As she travels, she comes across animals and must figure out how to safely get past them.
The message of this folktale encourages children to work together and think creatively, which also leads to peace and acquaints them with the environment.
I illustrated this book in 2022 as a part of my Master's thesis project on the subject of "A Study of the Evolution of Illustrations of Rolling Pumpkin Folktale from the First Color Printed Version until Now".
