Tahereh Eybod was born to a family with nine children, five sons, and four daughters. She was the sixth child and the youngest daughter in the family. Her father was a truck driver and unemployed most of the time. In such a situation, having a book was impossible for her. She was not allowed to go to the library, and only read scrapped books and magazines that would find in the trash. She never thought about becoming a writer until twelve, but she loved listening to stories and storytelling for her little brothers. When Eybod went to the second grade of elementary school (age 8), a 200-page notebook was gifted by her teacher. Eybod dedicated it as her fiction and poetry notebook. When she lost her father at the age of 11, their living conditions became more difficult. After that, she sought more refuge in the fictional universe to cope with the harsh reality of life. At the age of 12, her English teacher held a poetry and story contest in the school, and she won the first literary award; it was two volumes of storybooks. On that day her English teacher articulated a sentence to Eybod:'you can become a writer'. When she sent an article to Courier Magazine (a magazine for students) and saw Tahereh Eybod's name in the magazine, believed her words. she was hired as an instructor at the "Institute for the Intellectual Development of Children and Young Adults” after graduating from high school (age 18). Then she and participated in Naser Irani's story writing workshop (1982), and with the publication of her first book, "Saleh", by that institute, her career began in children's and young adult literature at age 21. She moved to Tehran in 1985 after her marriage and graduated with a bachelor's degree in English language teaching.
