There is a growing audience of parents who want to draw their children off-screen back to books, but especially to works which subtly and enjoyably offer their offspring ideas which can help them navigate difficulties in their lives.  This Rumi poem, recast as a exquisitely illustrated story by one of the world’s top illustrators of children’s books, teaches us how to welcome hardships in our lives as guests and to see them as transformative opportunities.

This book offers an exciting way to introduce young people and their parents to a few of the key teachings of the world-famous Sufi poet Rumi (1207-1273).
