A journey into ancient Iranian creativity

Aryan and Ariana’s grandfather introduces them to the idea that an early form of animation emerged in ancient Iran, prompting a journey into the past aboard the mythical Homa bird. The story brings together a family’s shared discovery and an introduction to ancient Iranian civilization, with curiosity and creativity linking the children’s adventure to the distant past. The publisher describes the civilization as sophisticated, peaceful, and creative; the book’s premise invites young readers to consider how people made and shared images long before modern cinema.

Book overview

What if the very first animation wasn't made in Hollywood, but in ancient Iran, five thousand years ago?

When Aryan and Ariana race home after school, their grandfather reveals an astonishing secret. The world's first animation was created 3,000 years before the pyramids of Giza were finished.

Carried on the golden wings of the mythical Homa bird, the children soar back through time to witness this extraordinary invention and discover a civilization far more sophisticated, peaceful, and creative than anything they imagined.

A story about:

The joy of curiosity and asking big questions

Siblings, grandparents, and the magic of shared discovery
