The Old Woman and the Eagle - La señora y el águila

An old woman’s first encounter with an eagle leads her to attempt to reshape it according to her own perceptions of birds, reflecting a common human tendency to modify the unfamiliar. This engaging bilingual story, adapted by Afghan author Idries Shah from Sufi traditions, aims to nurture mental flexibility and insight in readers of all ages. Enhanced by Natasha Delmar's beautiful illustrations, the narrative draws from ancient tales of Central Asia and the Middle East, making it both entertaining and thought-provoking for children.
