Even the greatest poet was once a child. When Rumi was young he was enchanted by birds and books. He later became a scholar, but it was the loss of his best friend, Shams, that inspired Rumi to his realization: Love is in us and everywhere. The Persian mystic and poet Rumi is one of the most widely read poets in the world. In this picture book, Iranian-American illustrator Rashin Kheiriyeh creates a memorial to Rumi’s wisdom and warmth. The bold colors and ornamental details transport readers to the Persian Empire in the 13th century. Yet Rumi’s story is timeless.
