Story from Syria

Retold by Judy Abdulkarim

“"Brave and intrepid soul," the ethereal voice reverberated, "your journey to uncover the Golden Falcon, bearer of wisdom and harbinger of prosperity, has been no mere chance. It is destiny that has guided your steps to this hallowed place."” 

Story from Indonesia

Retold by Jasyanda Karunisa Badudu

“One day, Bawang Putih went to the river to wash clothes, despite her extreme hunger and her weak physique. Suddenly, she realized one of her stepmom’s scarves had gone missing.”
