Winner of the National Book Award - Named Amazon's #1 Children's Book of 2025
In the shadow of World War II, two orphaned siblings embark on a perilous journey across the mountains of Iran--where survival depends on finding a common language in a world torn apart.
1941. The German armies are storming across Europe. Iran is a neutral country occupied by British forces on one side, Soviet forces on another. Soldiers fill the teahouses of Isfahan. Nazi spies roam the alleyways.
Babak and his little sister have just lost their father. Now orphans, fearing they will be separated, the two devise a plan. Babak will take up his father's old job as a teacher to the nomads. With a chalkboard strapped to Babak's back, and a satchel full of textbooks, the siblings set off to find the nomad tribes as they make their yearly trek across the mountains.
On the treacherous journey they meet a Jewish boy, hiding from a Nazi spy. And suddenly, they are all in a race for survival.
Against the backdrop of World War II comes an epic adventure in the faraway places. Through the cacophony of soldiers, tanks, and planes, can young hearts of different creeds and nations learn to find a common language?
Master storyteller Daniel Nayeri delivers an unforgettable tale of courage, hope, and the transformative power of education. Meticulously researched and breathtakingly told, The Teacher of Nomad Land illuminates a hidden corner of WWII history.
Perfect for readers who loved The Book Thief, Refugee, and Inside Out and Back Again, this is a story that will keep you riveted until the final, tear-filled page.
"No one captures the flavor and spirit of traditional storytelling more than Daniel Nayeri." --Chris Abouzeid, Belmont Books.
