About

Mahnaz Motia, a storyteller and advocate for preserving the Persian language, is the author of a unique collection of bilingual Farsi-English books. As she read countless books to her grandson, she realized there was a lack of bilingual Farsi-English resources that could help young readers connect with the beauty of the Persian language, while also celebrating its rich culture and history.

Inspired by this, Mahnaz created a series of books that begin with simple words for toddlers, recognizing how crucial it is for young minds to engage with multiple languages during their early years. Research shows that learning a second language during this stage of brain development can enhance cognitive abilities, improve memory, and foster creativity, setting the foundation for lifelong learning and a deeper understanding of the world.

Through her books, Mahnaz hopes to inspire families to embrace bilingualism, enriching both the brain and the bond between generations while staying connected to Persian traditions.
