The Persian Paradise is a collection of a series of the illustrated storie series by Lily & Sima Amis from 2020. ”Love & Loyalty”, “Acceptance & Tolerance”, “Compassion & Kindness”, “Honesty & Integrity” and “Peace & Harmony”. A lovely family book about self-love, self-acceptance, anti-bullying, friendship, loyalty and kindness.

There is a saying ‘Blood makes you related, loyalty makes you family’. And yet self-love and loyalty is even more important, because it helps you to survive all kinds of challenges and difficulties in life.

Charlie is a little lonely duck suffering from memory loss. He ends up in the city park of Vienna in Austria and is desperately looking for love and loyalty. He tries to fit in, in different bird communities, but wherever he goes, he feels displaced. Inclusion and acceptance become a huge challenge for his little heart and soul. But miracles do happen, when you least expect it!

“Love & Loyalty” is an educational anti-discrimination and anti-bullying story about acceptance and inclusion for young and young at heart readers.

“Honesty & Integrity” is the follow-up story to “Love & Loyalty”. The little duck with memory loss, Charlie, finally remembers what happened to him and how he ended up in the city park of Vienna in Austria.

This story shows us that you can’t force anyone to love you, not even your family. You can’t force anyone to stand by your side, not even your family. Not everyone is fortunate enough to be raised by a loving and caring family. This is a painful lesson that Charlie has to learn and accept. Blood may make you related, but it doesn’t guarantee you love and loyalty.

A successful circus traveling across Persia presents the most famous and talented animals in the Orient. The artists dazzle the audience with their outstanding performances. However, life behind the scenes isn’t as shiny as it is on stage. The lack of acceptance and tolerance becomes unbearable when an enthusiastic little lamb with big dreams and goals joins the circus family as THE new attraction.

“Acceptance & Tolerance” is an educational anti-bullying story about self-love, self-acceptance and tolerance for young and young at heart readers.

Change is never easy. But sometimes we are forced to make decisions, change our path and deal with the unexpected and challenging consequences. Setareh, a little lamb with a big heart, is forced to leave her home, the national circus in Persia. At the circus she had to deal with jealousy, rejection and bullying. Despite hurtful experiences and heartbreak, Setareh is an optimistic animal and hopeful about her new life at a farm. She knows that the farm owners, an older couple called Mr and Mrs Hakimi have created a paradise for their animals. But will the farm animals be as welcoming as the owners or will they make Setareh feel unwelcome and unwanted?

“Compassion & Kindness” is the follow-up story to “Acceptance & Tolerance”. This story is inspired by the global refugee crises and the negative and heartless way in which our society deals with helpless foreigners and their misery.

This is an educational ebook for the Lily4Refugees project and is my voice for the voiceless. It includes three stories: Leo & Mousi - Refugees Unwanted, Love & Loyalty - The Lonely Ducky, Lucky – From Zero to Hero.

The three anti-discrimination and anti-racism stories will teach young readers about the importance of education, school, and work. They are also an eye-opening wake-up call for governments, lawmakers, and our selfish and condescending society to include refugees and integrate them in their refugee country, instead of excluding them from education and holding them back from training and work opportunities. Every single refugee deserves an education and the chance to be trained and the chance to work in their field of interest and ability. Every single refugee is gifted and should be supported! Only in this way can our society progress. Only in this way will the next generation be able to become independent, useful, valued, and taxpaying members of our society.

What do a turtle and a bunny have in common? Not much and yet they have the same goal. A turtle from Rome and a bunny from Napoli are competing at a writing contest in Florence! The winning prize is a publishing contract and a movie deal. Who is going to win the contest? The hard-working and honest turtle or the lazy charlatan bunny?

You can fool yourself but not others because lies don’t travel far. That’s a hard lesson that bunny will learn the hard way. Bunny & Turtle is a timeless story with meaningful, educational, and inspiring messages for children and adults about honesty, integrity, and self-respect.

There are situations that seem desperate. Existences that go on in the greyness of a suffocating and repetitive everyday life. Every day the same scenario, the same boredom, the coldness of a house in which there is no love. The imagination that inhabits this curious and intelligent little fish’s head creates dreams of the outside world and eventual escape from the confining life in a fishbowl, trying to drown out the sameness of life. Everything seems condemned to an endless monotony... until the unthinkable happens. An incredible encounter that shakes the desperate little fish’s life and put wings to his dreams. A story full of fantasy that teaches us not to surrender to despair, even when we do not see a way out. A surprise ending that leaves us with a smile.

This deeply meaningful short, age- and timeless story inspired by the two memoirs Destination: Freedom and Definition of Freedom is a reflection of Lily’s Life in a foreign country. Fishy’s desperate desire for freedom, a circle of loving friends and a caring family, the feeling of belonging somewhere and of being accepted and integrated, is what many refugees/immigrants feel and struggle with. Some struggle, just for a while, but others for their entire lives. But, as they say, there is always light at the end of the tunnel and this story, with a happy ending, is a good lesson, to never give up on hope, faith, dreams, goals, wishes, and desires, despite the challenging obstacles, of destiny and our selfish, elbow-society!

America’s Royal Family is a humorous adventure parody. Lisy is a lonely girl and all she wants is a family who will love her and make her feel as though she belongs. She suddenly is fed up with feeling this way and flies from Switzerland to the United States.

Thanks to social media many people forget the important values in life these days. Our brains are overdosed with useless informations and we all are affected by it whether we like it or not. The really precious and priceless gifts in life such as love, family and friendship are becoming irrelevant. This satire story brings to life some current issues faced by social media and today’s materialism and superficiality.
