Once Upon a Time by Afsaneh Shabannejad

Açıklama

Once Upon a Time by acclaimed children’s author Afsaneh Shabannejad is a beautifully illustrated retelling of timeless stories from Rumi’s Masnavi. This 44‑page hardcover enchants readers aged 12 and up with five short fables—like “The Ship in the Whirlpool” and “The Mouse and the Camel”—each opening with “Once upon a time…”. Lovingly adapted and adorned with vibrant art by Marjan Vafaian and Atiyeh Bozorg Sohrabi, the book brings classical Persian tales to life in an accessible and engaging way. Ideal for young readers, families, and classrooms, it bridges cultural heritage and moral storytelling. A delightful addition to any collection celebrating Persian literary treasures.
