NEEM THE HALF-BOY

Idries Shah
Illustrated by Midori Mori & Robert Revels
Hoopoe Books, 1998

Because she fails to follow the precise instructions given to her by Arif the Wise Man, The Queen of Hich-Hich gives birth to a half-boy. That Neem is able to make himself complete by an act of cleverness, negotiation, and compromise teaches children more than the expected, usual lesson of bravery. Ages: 3-8

'For more than 30 years Idries Shah's collections of teaching stories and narratives from the Sufi tradition have captivated the hearts and minds of people from all walks of life. '
—From the cover Neem The Half Boy

'Shah's adaptation of this traditional Sufi tale will encourage children to contemplate the meaning of psychological 'wholeness.''
