Two Parrots

This delightful picture book presents Rumi's classic tale of two parrots: one held captive by a merchant who loves his bird very much, and the other who helps his friend escape from the merchant. All ends well, as the merchant learns that by giving his bird freedom, he gains two parrot friends who frequently grace his garden. The pictures by Iranian artist, Rashin, are delightful and the story is well told. A book both children and adults will enjoy.
