The Boy Without a Name

More about the book

A wise man foretells the significance of a boy, who is named Benaam, meaning "nameless," as his parents wait for a special gift. The narrative follows his journey to discover his true name and relinquish an old dream for a new one. This illustrated Sufi teaching story, adapted for children by Idries Shah, encourages self-reflection and critical thinking. The themes emphasize patience and determination in pursuing one's aspirations. Mona Caron's watercolor illustrations enhance this enchanting tale, appealing to both young readers and adults.
