THE TEACHER OF NOMAD LAND is a #NationalBookAward Finalist! The first sentence we learn in Persian is بابا آب داد "Father gave water." The most important thing to know then is that what we need most has been given, not earned. What I mean is that I'm grateful beyond reason.

AUDIO BOOK ALERT!
🎧 @DanielNayeri narrates his novel, The Teacher Of Nomad Land. It's about the 1941 experiences of Iran orphans Babak & Sana. Nayeri varies from dramatic tension to quieter emotional and philosophical moments. @PRHAudio #ListeningLibrary

“Babak is a teacher, and a teacher is one who gives. Sana is a kid sister. Everybody has good work to do.” @DanielNayeri this was an awesome read & will be reread many times and gifted to many friends. Best one of 2025 in the “Keeping up w/ @Dr_ChrisHobbs Reading Challenge”

#TheTeacherOfNomadLand has been selected for @nationalbook Award Longlist! In my delirious joy I realized my happiness was for Babak & Sana (the siblings in the story), who've become two kids that I really wish I could protect. Thank you. https://t.co/s0IjhnrSOY

New release! The Teacher of Nomad Land by @DanielNayeri: We frequently hear about how #WWII affected places like Europe, Asia, and Northern Africa—but did you know it reached into #Iran, too? https://t.co/9nT0Vfb1qI

"Superb" says @nytimesbooks! THE TEACHER OF NOMAD LAND comes out 9/16 and, very much like @taylorswift13, I would love for you to pre-order it. https://t.co/JSDhRiEZw0

A memoir by the late Uri Shulevitz that reads like an adventure novel and a novel by Daniel Nayeri that feels utterly real.

If you've ever looked up a Persian word on the internet, there's a good chance you already know @justleyla. It was a delight to finally meet her & chat about a whole slew of topics, including #TheTeacherOfNomadLand, which comes out in a scant 5 weeks! https://t.co/eXt4bopr6T

World War II may feel like ancient history, but the conflict inspires some powerful and relevant children's books, writes @DibblyFresh. https://t.co/0wDpVBeDF8
