Neem the Half-Boy -- Niim le demi-garçon

In a whimsical tale, the Queen of Hich-Hich's desire for a son leads to the birth of Neem, a half-boy, due to her failure to follow wise counsel. Neem's journey to completeness through cleverness and negotiation imparts valuable lessons beyond mere bravery. Enriched with enchanting illustrations by Midori Mori and Robert Revels, this story is part of a cherished series of Sufi teaching tales adapted for children by Idries Shah, encouraging young readers to challenge assumptions and develop independent thinking.
