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.

Keynan Masters doesn’t know the truth about Peerless Academy. He thinks it’s just a fancy art school that can’t teach him anything he doesn’t already know (how to write fire poems) and won’t solve his problems (the massive storms that threaten his home and family).

But at Peerless, Keynan discovers:
Secret passageways and unexplainable portals
A corrupt magic that the school is barely able to contain
That he can churn up the magic by putting his poetry to rhythm

Together with his crew of new friends, can Keynan prevent the magic from destroying the school—and the world?
