Product Description
Synopsis
A Persian Folk Tale About Uncovering Life's Hidden Beauty; The Girl who Lost her Smile, inspired by one of the tales by legendary poet and story teller Jallal al-Din Rumi, is set in the wondrous city of Baghdad, where there lives a young girl called Jehan, whose smile makes the sun shine and the stars sparkle. One morning she wakes to discover that her smile has gone. She looks everywhere but to no avail. Jugglers and fire-eaters come to entertain her. Artists from all over the world paint murals on the walls of her room, but still she cannot find her smile. Finally, it is left to a young boy with nothing more than a simple wooden scraper to restore her smile, and the sun, to Baghdad.

Wonderful Cultural Book, 10 April 2002
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Girl Who Lost Her Smile (Hardcover)
This is a folktale of a young girl Jehan, who lives in Baghdad. One morning she wakes to find out she has lost her smile. She searches for it all over the world, only to find it was hidden in her own home all along she just had to uncover it. She finds the more she smiles the easier it is and the entire community shares her smile. The moral is to find the hidden beauty in life that is often right in front of us. This is a great book that incorporates the culture of Baghdad, culture all over the world, and has a great moral to it. This is delightful book and I highly recommend it.
