Myra the Great

To be the first and the best in everything - it's so great! The girl Myra was so first and the best that she figured out everything in the world, learned all the sciences and reached the very end of the world. But what is there, at the end of our world? What if this is not the end at all, but the beginning of another world? Which lives by its own laws and in which our knowledge and achievements are not so important? Smart Myra wants to think that this new world is fiction, it does not exist and cannot exist. But what if new discoveries and new friends await her there, who see life completely differently than she does?

The picture book "Mayra the Great" by the young Iranian writer Payam Ebrahimi is written not only for children - achievers and conquerors. Adults also consider themselves conquerors of the universe - until they realize that there are other worlds next to them. It seems to them that they have reached the end, but in fact they are returning to the origins. And there, at the origins, there is someone wiser and deeper than them.
