About the Author:
Wafa' Tarnowska was born in Lebanon, has lived in Australia, India, Cyprus and Poland, and is currently based in Dubai. In her work, Wafa' strives to create a valuable bridge between East and West, helping to break down the stereotypical images people have of one another. Wafa' is also the author of The Seven Wise Princesses, a retelling for children of the Sufi writer Nizami's medieval classic Haft Paykar. Carole Henaff studied theatrical literature in Paris, before moving to Barcelona to study graphic design and illustration. Carole has illustrated children's books in France and Spain, including Smara, which was awarded the Isaac DiazPardo prize for Best Illustrated Book, 2006.
From Booklist:
With bright, lush, stylized acrylic illustrations, this collection of eight stories from A Thousand and One Nights is designed for reading aloud, but in contrast to many watered-down versions, these tales may find their best audience with older elementary students and middle-schoolers. The long introductory story, Shahriyar Meets Shahrazade, tells of the shah’s discovery of his beloved wife’s betrayal and his shocking decision to marry a new bride every day and then order her death. Then he meets and marries Shahrazade, who persuades Shahriyar to keep her alive by telling him a riveting story each night. Sinbad and Ali Baba aren’t included, but most children will know Aladdin, which is told here in a detailed, relaxed, colloquial style. In the introduction, Tarnowska talks about the story’s roots, as well as growing up in Lebanon and hearing tales of strong women from her grandmother. Throughout, the spacious paintings capture the sense of the supernatural in daily life, including magical images of people taking flight above city, trees, and desert. Grades 4-8. --Hazel Rochman
