Description Concering Books The Boy Without a Name

A Sufi teaching take about a little boy without a name. When he was born, the wise man told his parents not to name him because he was a very important boy. The parents called him Benaam, which means Nameless. One day Nameless asked his friend Anwar for a name. Anwar said all he had was his name. Besides, what would Nameless give him if he gave him his name? Nameless said a dream. They both decide to visit the wise man who greets them at the door. The wise man has a box with names and a box of dreams. Magical boxes. Nameless receives a name and both boys get new dreams.

The brilliant illustrations are beautifully rendered in full-page spreads. The tale teaches the importance of names and dreams, and patience. The text is written for middle grade readers.

Beautiful illustrations!

Wonderful illustrations.



The Boy Without a Name is one of the digital texts I read this week. I found this title under the Award Winning Books section of the ICDL website.
