The Roc Girl

In a tale of magic and longing, a couple’s dream of parenthood is realized when a hakim gifts them a mysterious bird egg to nurture for forty days. Doubt leads the husband to discard it, but a majestic roc bird swoops in, takes the egg and under its care, a beautiful girl hatches. Raised by the bird, a prince accidentally meets her and seeks her hand, but a wicked witch plots to tear them apart. Stranded and vulnerable, the roc girl’s cries for help echo through the melody of a shepherd’s reed stick. Will the prince hear her?

Love, truth, and destiny triumph over deceit in this poetic picture book.
