Description:
1 volume (unpaged) : color illustrations ; 25 cm.
Summary:
A retelling of a folktale about how a pair of magical slippers always find their way back to the
tiger
whose mother made them for him.
Set in India, this gorgeous reimagining of the classic Middle Eastern folk tale "Abu Kassem's Slippers" features a poor
tiger
cub who is a very hard worker. His mother weaves him slippers to protect his feet from stones and thorns, and they allowed him to prosper first making bricks, then building houses, and eventually becoming very wealthy. He continues to wear them until someone questions why such a prominent person would wear such worn shoes. Feeling embarrassed,
Tiger
tries to get rid of the slippers, but fate keeps bringing them back.
