The inspiring story of Rumi's journey from a young refugee to a renowned poet shows how his childhood helped shape his poetry. Young Muhammad adores his home, and he loves waking up each day to the sound of birds singing. His father encourages him to keep singing through happy days as well as sad--just like the birds. And there are indeed sad days ahead when his family is forced to flee from Genghis Khan's army, becoming refugees. As they travel, Muhammad takes many lessons from nature, and his positivity and spirit of largess lights the way. This moving story based on the life of the beloved thirteenth-century poet Rumi celebrates showing love to everyone and offers a beautiful message of hope in troubled times.
