About the Book

(Bilingual English-Spanish edition) On the day a boy is born, his parents are visited by a wise man who tells them, "This is a very, very important boy, and I'm going to give him something marvelous one day, but I will have to give him his name first. So please don't give him a name yet." So they named the boy Benaam, which means "nameless." The story tells how he seeks and eventually finds his own true name, and how he also gives away an old dream that he doesn't want - and gets a wonderful new dream. This is one of an illustrated series of Sufi teaching stories from the Middle East and Central Asia that were collected and adapted for children by Idries Shah, and that have captivated hearts and minds for more than a thousand years. The stories are designed to help children learn to examine their assumptions and to think for themselves. Among the many insights The Boy Without a Name can provoke is the idea that it takes patience and resolve to achieve one's goals in life. Mona Caron's beautiful watercolor illustrations embellish this unusual and captivating story, presenting the wonder of this hidden world to both children and adults. (Edición bilingüe inglés-español) El día que nace el niño, un sabio visita a sus padres y les dice: "Este es un niño muy, muy importante, y un día le voy a dar algo maravilloso, pero tendré que darle su nombre primero. Así que, por favor, no le deis un nombre todavía." Por lo tanto, llamaron al niño Benaam, que significa "sin nombre." Esta historia cuenta cómo el niño busca y finalmente encuentra su nombre verdadero, y cómo regala un viejo sueño que no quiere y obtiene otro nuevo y maravilloso. El cuento pertenece a la serie ilustrada de historias de enseñanza sufíes originarias del Medio Oriente y el Asia Central, que fueron recopiladas y adaptadas para niños por Idries Shah. Estas historias, que han cautivado corazones y mentes durante más de mil años, están diseñadas para ayudar a los niños a aprender a examinar sus suposiciones y a pensar por sí mismos. Entre las muchas ideas que El niño sin nombre puede provocar está el concepto de que se necesita paciencia y determinación para lograr las metas de la vida. Las hermosas ilustraciones en acuarela de Mona Caron embellecen esta inusual historia presentando la maravilla de un mundo oculto tanto a niños como a adultos.

About the Author :
Idries Shah spent much of his life collecting and publishing Sufi classical narratives and teaching stories from oral and written sources in the Middle East and Central Asia. The tales he retold especially for children are published by Hoopoe Books in beautifully illustrated editions and have been widely commended - by Western educators and psychologists, the U.S. Library of Congress, National Public Radio and other media - for their unique ability to foster social-emotional development, thinking skills and perception in children and adults alike. Told for centuries, these stories express universal themes from the cultures that produced them, showing how much we have in common and can learn from each other. As noted by reviewers, such stories are more than just entertaining; familiarity with them provokes flexibility of thought, since each one contains levels of meaning that unfold in accordance with an individual's experience and understanding. Idries Shah pasó gran parte de su vida recolectando narrativas clásicas sufíes e historias de enseñanza de fuentes orales y escritas en el Medio Oriente y Asia Central y publicándolas en libros. Los 11 cuentos de este tipo que adaptó especialmente para niños han sido publicados por Hoopoe Books en ediciones bellamente ilustradas, y elogiadas por educadores y psicólogos occidentales, así como por la Biblioteca del Congreso de EE. UU., National Public Radio y otros medios, por su capacidad única de fomentar el desarrollo socioemocional, y la capacidad de pensamiento y percepción, tanto en niños como en adultos. Contadas durante siglos, estas historias expresan temas universales y ofrecen una representación positiva de culturas importantes, pero a menudo incomprendidas, mostrando cuánto tenemos en común y qué podemos aprender unos de otros. Estos cuentos reconocen la individualidad y singularidad de un niño y fomentan un sentido de confianza, responsabilidad y propósito.

Review :
"... a satisfying bedtime story that will encourage pleasant dreams to drift into little ears." - Booklist (U.S.) "... a young boy seeks and eventually finds his own name and is able to discard an old dream for a new and wonderful one. Highly recommended for personal, school and community library picturebook collections, The Boy Without a Name is an entertaining and thoughtful Sufi folktale which is wonderfully recounted by Idries Shah and marvellously illustrated with watercolor paintings by Mona Caron." - Midwest Book Review (U.S.) "... one of three recent titles in the beautifully illustrated award-winning series of picture books by Idries Shah. ... Among the many insights that this story introduces to children is the idea that it takes patience and resolve to achieve one's goals in life." - Bookbird: A Journal of International Children's Literature "... las orejitas que se abren a este cuento para irse a dormir, se dejan ir hacia sueños placenteros." - Booklist (EE.UU.) "... un niño busca y eventualmente encuentra su propio nombre y es capaz de descartar un viejo sueño por uno nuevo y maravilloso. Altamente recomendado para colecciones de libros ilustrados, ya sea bibliotecas personales, escolares y de la comunidad. El niño sin nombre es un entretenido y profundo cuento popular de origen sufí, maravillosamente narrado por Idries Shah y hermosamente ilustrado en acuarelas por Mona Caron." - Midwest Book Review (EE.UU.) "... uno de los tres recientes títulos de la galardonada serie de libros de Idries Shah, bellamente ilustrados... Entre las muchas ideas que esta historia presenta a los niños está el valor de tener paciencia y determinación para lograr nuestras metas en la vida." - Bookbird: Revista de literatura infantil internacional
