It was definitely a great story, and the parables were even more enlightening.

Wow

I don’t ready poetry and I tried hard to understand this book. Many parts I understood. I wish I had someone to explain it though.

This book encouraged me to look up what a hoopoe is, and that alone made my entire week.

De Hoepoe is een streng vogeltje, maar hij zegt wel mooie dingen. Doet op sommige momenten Boeddhistisch, Christelijk en Stoïcijns aan, maar dat ligt meer aan dat dat meer mijn aanknopingspunten zijn.

A lovely gift book. The illustrations are beautiful. This book invites you to slow down, linger on the page, get lost in the forms, question, introspect. How do *you* face the trials of the seven valleys? Will you recognize the mountain when you get there? It's there all along the way.

As one might expect with Peter Sís, this book is a visual and spiritual feast. The pages even have a luscious textured feel to them. The book is a retelling of a 12th century Persian epic poem, and Sís's illustrations brim with profound imagery. Gorgeous, lyrical, and wise, this story is one to be read and pondered over and over again.
