When I Coloured in the World

By Ahmadreza Ahmadi (Author), Eshan Abdollahi (Illustrator) and Azita Rassi (Translator)

When I Coloured in the World is a simple yet profound poem about changing the world by the award-winning Iranian poet Ahmadreza Ahmadi.

A child uses crayons to colour and change the world, rubbing out the bad things and replacing them with good. Boredom gives way to play, crying to laughter, war to peace and darkness to light. With a little colour and imagination, the world becomes a kinder, more hopeful place. When I Coloured In the World is a beautiful book with a simple poetic text and a profound, positive message.
