MY REVIEW
I think of Aesop’s fables as timeless. While I’m not sure how long ago it was when I first read them, many of the lessons I took away from those reading still linger this many years later. I reference instances from stories such as The Boy Who Cried wolf, The Tortoise And The Hare and The Wolf In Sheep’s Clothing often. And when I use the references in conversation with people of different generations they recognize my inference. That’s how integral the teachings are in my thoughts.
Author Uzma Farooq, along with her son’s Samir and Amani, retold these tales in a wonderful hardcover with stunning, vibrant illustrations. My childhood copy is long gone and I’m thrilled to add this wonderful copy to my bookshelf.
