Zi Series, a six-volume set of books for 0-6 year olds, is about a baby girl frog, living with her family and friends. Her wonderful adventures are accompanied with beautiful illustrations creating a relaxed, friendly atmosphere. In volume 1, Zi’s Granny, her granny helps Zi to learn new things and sense danger. In volume 2, Zi’s Ma, Zi broadens her experience about the town through painting with her Ma. In volume 3, Zi’s Grandpa, he shows how to do fascinating things like catching prey with tongue! In volume 4, Zi’s Dad, she spends a pleasant night with her dad learning how to sing. In volume 5, Zi’s Brother, she learns how to adjust and cope with her newborn brother. In volume 6, Zi’s Friend, Zi makes a new friend with whom she has little in common but they make the best out of it. Instead of teaching moral lessons in her stories, Azra Jodani penetrates into children’s deep and intricate world with her writings. Her ‘My Name is Mania’ was registered in Munich’s International Youth Library in 2007. Closely resembling children’s world, Hadiseh Ghorban’s illustrations show Zi’s naughtiness perfectly.

Azra Jozani was born in 1968. She started her writing career with children’s magazines in 1990. Ever since, she’s mainly focused on writing for children. All her writings, translations and editings are for 0 to 6 year-olds, an age range to which Iranian writers had been rarely concerned before 2000. Distancing from ideological thinking, she tries to have a professionally aesthetic perspective on children’s literature while keeping a balance between popular fiction and literary fiction so as to create literarily rich stories which still absorb ordinary people’s attention. Many of her books have won prizes, namely ”My Name is Mania” which was admired by the Iranian Children's Book Council and registered in Munich’s International Youth Library in 2007. She also has a poetry collection, “Hagebutte Verleg”, which was published in 2018 in Germany.
