Neem the Half-Boy / Neem de halve jongen

The story revolves around the Queen of Hich-Hich, who, in her desire for a son, inadvertently gives birth to Neem, a half-boy, due to her failure to heed wise counsel. Neem's journey towards becoming whole through cleverness and negotiation imparts valuable life lessons beyond mere bravery. This enchanting tale, featuring whimsical elements like fairies and a dragon, is beautifully illustrated and part of a rich tradition of Sufi teaching stories aimed at encouraging children to think critically and challenge their assumptions.
