Marit T\u00f6rnqvist started the Intercultural Project to produce quality picture books for the \u201cRead with Me<\/span>\u201d program in Iran at the invitation of the Institute for Research on the History of Children\u2019s Literature in 2015. In this project, she cooperated with a group of young and creative Iranian illustrators as the art director to produce Iranian books with high quality illustrations and content for Iranian children. Achievement of three years of continuous work in this project has been three quality books written by Mohammad Hadi Mohammadi titled \u201cThe Black Monster and The White Mouse\u201d illustrated by Keyvan Akbari, \u201cOvercoated Carrot\u201d illustrated by Mahsa Mansoori and \u201cSeven Horses, Seven Colors\u201d illustrated by Nooshin Safakho.<\/p>\n

In the recent visit of Iran by Marit T\u00f6rnqvist, these three books were unveiled.

The book \u201cSeven horses, seven colors\u201d will be published in Holland in June 2018 and was introduced by a well-known Dutch publisher at the Frankfurt Book Fair, which reflects a constructive and two-way dialogue between two different worlds.<\/p>\n
