There’s Room for everyone Anahita Teymorian
A child grows and discovers the world. As he lies awake at night, he sees there’s enough room in the sky for all the stars and the moon. When he visits the ocean, he sees there is enough room for all the fish, even for the whales. As he grows up, he doesn’t understand why people fight for space. Surely, if we are kinder to one another, there will always be room for everyone? This is a beautiful and profound picture book — a testament of our time and a touching allegory for war and the refugee crisis. • • • •

Anahita Teymorian appeals for peace in There’s Room for Everyone... She had the idea for the tale while shouting at the TV news, but the tone isn’t angry – it’s wise and warm. The Observer

The umbrella is the protagonist of this delightful picture book: it decides to belong not to the leopard or the bear, who will use it for selfish pursuits, but to the elephant, who invites everyone to share it. Irresistible for its striking, friendly pictures and message about the joy of altruism. Nicolette Jones, The Sunda y Times
