Everything Sad Is Untrue by Daniel Nayeri

5.0

This book is Daniek Nayeri's true story where he writes as himself as a 12 year old refugee from Iran. He tells stories of when he was in Iran, when he is in Oklahoma, his family's past, and stories from Iran's mythology and weaves it all together beautifully. There are funny parts and heartbreaking parts and everything in between. I think this would be a great book for middle and high schoolers to learn empathy for refugees and people from other countries and cultures.
