English Summary/英文概要： A small group of children roams the streets of Tehran. They are dirty and badly dressed. Their bellies are empty and their eyes are full of anger: life has played a bad joke on them, it has made them born poor and alone, in a reality in which grown-ups are best not to trust. They live every day, slaves of a man and a woman who use them as beggars and pickpockets. To protect them there is neither God nor destiny, but only their determination, a gun that turns from hand to hand and a flock of crows that seems to follow them everywhere. This book offers a portrait of contemporary Iran, created by an Iranian woman who, working and living abroad, learned to objectively recognize the beauties and gray areas of her country. In «Lullaby in Tehran» Nassim Honaryar tells a story of daily desperation and ruthless revenge, digging so deeply into the hearts of these children who grew up too quickly to bring to light an invaluable treasure: their sanguine innocence.

Awards/获奖情况： Nassim Honaryar’s graphic novel Ninna Nanna a Teheran has been selected for the 54a edition of the BolognaRagazzi Award and got a special mention.
