Children's Tales From Around the World (Expo 2020 Dubai‪)‬

A daring princess, an honourable buffalo, and a determined shepherd are just some of the valiant heroes that await you in the second instalment of Children’s Tales From Around the World. Brought to you by Expo 2020 Dubai, this unique selection of folktales, retold for young readers, is one chapter in a joyous seven-part anthology that showcases a carnival of international storytelling cultures. These traditional tales, passed down from generation to generation and thoughtfully contributed by Expo’s participating nations, have been brought to life through captivating illustrations submitted by schoolchildren and professional artists alike. Accompanied by engaging puzzles and cultural tidbits, this delightful volume transports young explorers into the realms of fantasy, history, humour and life lessons. Learn how a tortoise’s greed leads to his undoing, and a wood dove’s ego leaves her without a nest. Meanwhile, a humble poet wins the affection of a princess with his noble prose. After all, pride comes before a fall, but humility may leave you standing tall.
