Daniel Nayeri's Everything Sad is Untrue is the true story of an immigrant boy named Khosrou (who everyone calls Daniel). While his classmates ridicule him for his differences, he is determined to tell his stories: of ancestors who ate pastries that made people cry, and walked on carpets studded with jewels, to his family's flight from the Iranian secret police, and their eventual arrival in America.
