Aziz Storyteller

by [Top Grade]

All the stories of the world are woven into a magic carpet waiting to be told.

A lofty tribute to the universal art of storytelling, this story can also help students consider the passing on of traditions. Significantly, the picture book can inspire students to retell stories from their own lives. The unique font and black and white illustrations also add to the vivid Middle Eastern setting of this tale.
