Hoopoe Books
for Children, ISHK Book Service. "Award-winning series of
large-format, illustrated children's books by Afghan author Idries Shah
present tales from a rich tradition of storytelling. For more than a
thousand years all over Afghanistan, Central Asia and the Middle East,
children have been entertained and taught by these stories and have
continues to tell them in adult life." ISHK Book Service
"These teaching stories can be experienced on many levels. A child may
simply enjoy hearing them, an adult may analyze them in a more
sophisticated way. Both may eventually benefit from the lessons
within."
Lynn Neary, "All Things Considered," NPR News, Washington DC
Information about ISHK's "Share Literacy" program is also available
