The Sultan And The Cave

Jiji Jerboa was happily hopping along the desert road when suddenly, she was enveloped by a cloud of dust! "Bandits! Quick!" a voice said, "We must hide the sultan!"
Five desert friends use their unique gifts to help the sultan in this Henny Penny style retelling of an Arabian tale. Will they be able to stop the bandits from discovering him?
THE SULTAN AND THE CAVE is a tale of friendship, working together, and diversity being our collective strength. By the author of EVERYTHING SLEEPS (2022, Little Dragon Books), Em Alagbary, in her debut as Author-Illustrator.
Adventure with the animal friends through flora, fauna, and scenery from the Middle East and Africa, as they work together to help the sultan. THE SULTAN AND THE CAVE is a mashup of a well-known story in the English-speaking world and a well-known story in the Middle East. A love letter to the underrepresented third culture kids whose stories are so seldom told.
