Daniel Nayeri

Daniel Nayeri likes to read things backward even when it doesn't make sense to do so. He is the author of Everything Sad Is Untrue (A True Story), winner of the Printz Award, the Christopher Medal, and the Middle Eastern Book Award. He loves letter-unit palindromes, like ""toot"" and ""God's dog,"" and word-unit palindromes, like ""Never say never"" and ""Fall leaves after leaves fall,"" and if he didn't say how much he likes and loves his wife and son, he wouldn't be Daniel Nayeri.
