The Rich Man and the Parrot

32 pp. | Whitman | April, 2007 | Trade ISBN 978-0-8075-5059-5 $16.95
(3) K-3 Illustrated by Ande Cook. A wealthy man showers gifts upon his caged parrot but withholds what the parrot most craves--the freedom to fly away. Bright, lush tropical colors invite the reader into this tale of captive love and the powerful desire to be free. A foreword explains that the story is based on a tale by thirteenth-century Persian poet Mawlana Jalal ad-Din Rumi.
