About the Book

By an Iraqi origins’ writer, a collection of tales with Mesopotamian roots is what makes up Numan's Fables. The stories all have life lessons that will support the child's future.

First Fable: Foxes Shake Hands

The lesson to be learned from it is the peril of befriending an enemy of one’s country.

Second Fable: The Greedy Monkey

It’s about a monkey that squanders his hard work because he is too cheap to reward his fellow workers.

Third Fable: The Two Birds and Their Enemy, the Owl

It teaches kids that their enemies, no matter how formidable they may seem right now, have vulnerable spots they may exploit to defeat them.

Fourth Fable: The Three Cats

The lesson is that fighting with a friend or partner can lead to regret and the other person coming out on top in a dispute over property or assets.

Fifth Fable: The Mute Giraffe

The moral and the giraffe's lesson encourage children not to trust strangers and to be wary of falling for con artists' schemes that could cause them to lose everything.
