The WOW Book (Volum 1) is a warm, humorous memoire that brings to life the unforgettable adventures of Abraham Ishay Giliana's childhood in an Assyrian Christian family living in Tehran, Iran, from the 1950s until this day. Through a series of true stories, the author invites readers into a world where everyday events become extraordinary through the eyes of an innocent child. A training potty becomes a prized possession, a wrong turn down a familiar street creates an entirely new universe, a tray of chocolates nearly ends a school registration, and a simple bag of strawberries teaches an unforgettable lesson about justice. Each story captures the delightful misunderstandings, fears, discoveries, and unexpected wisdom that only childhood can produce. Behind the humor lies a rich portrait of a close-knit Assyrian community whose members shared not only homes and meals, but also traditions, language, faith, and a deep sense of family. Readers will meet unforgettable characters, loving parents, devoted grandparents, mischievous friends, eccentric neighbors, compassionate teachers, and colorful relatives—whose lives helped shape the author's character and worldview. Although every chapter stands on its own, together they create a vivid picture of a disappearing way of life, preserving memories of a people, a culture, and an era that no longer exists in quite the same form. Filled with warmth, nostalgia, and self-deprecating humor, The WOW Book reminds us that the funniest stories are often the one’s life writes for us. It celebrates the universal experiences of growing up, making mistakes, loving family, and discovering the world one unforgettable moment at a time.
