Ages: 6 and up

If you had just one chance to achieve your dream, what would you do? Long ago in the land of Persia lived Barbad the musician, whose only wish was to play before the king. When his way is blocked by a jealous rival, Barbad's solution is simple: hide up in a tree and wait for the king to arrive! Adapted by author Mahvash Shahegh from an ancient Persian tale, and magically brought to life by award-winning illustrator, Claire Ewart, this whimsical story proves that all good things really do come to those who wait.
