In a time of drought in the Kingdom of Morocco, a storyteller and a boy weave a tale to thwart a Djinn and his sandstorm from destroying their city.
This book is super long, so perhaps best for children with a little longer attention span, but is beautifully written and illustrated and conveys a powerful message about the importance of storytelling.
