This exciting collection of eight folktales presented in parallel English and Arabic text brings together favorites from a storytelling tradition rich in humor, warmth, and gentle life lessons. Drawing on oral and written sources from across the Arabic-speaking world, award-winning author Hadil Ghoneim has crafted a fun and unique anthology for heritage language learners as well as anyone seeking to introduce young readers to diverse cultures. The stories include:
- Goha and His Son: The beloved folk character Goha teaches his son that it's impossible to please everyone
- A Tale About Friendship (part one and two): A turtle, a crow, and their animal friends show that when we help each other out, we can overcome any challenge
- The Woodcutter and the Lion: A woodcutter uses his quick wit to outsmart a lion
- And four more great stories!:
Illustrator Ayah Khamis brings the tales to life with expressive characters, glowing color combinations, and detailed depictions of buildings and other local details. The book is a valuable addition to the library of any family or teacher who wants to build cultural connections through the magic of stories.
