The Conference of Birds is retold by Peter Sis. This book is based on a 12th century work by Persian poet Farid Ud-Din Attar. Sis has taken the epic poem and reworked in a beautifully illustrated story. The poem is an allegorical tale of a group of birds who band together to seek their true king, Simorgh, who lives on a distant mountain. The text is compelling and the artwork is simply gorgeous. A wonderful book for reader's of all ages.
Ratings: 7th grade - 10 out of 10.
