Two Parrots: Inspired by a Tale from Rumi

32 pp. | North-South | May, 2014 | Trade ISBN 978-0-7358-4171-0 $17.95
(3) K-3 Though he lives in a golden cage and is well cared for, a pet parrot longs to be free. After the parrot escapes, his owner, a rich merchant, realizes that "Freedom is more important than food and water and all the wealth in the world." The Rumi-inspired story is well translated, and Iranian artist Rashin's illustrations are bold, lusciously textured, and, at times, comical.
