This parable - which first appeared in a slightly different form in Conversations with God Book 1 - will make a lasting impression on all children aged 1-100! Small children want to spend hours looking at the heavenly illustrations, while older ones (including us!) will find it gives lovely, positive answers to many difficult questions, freeing us from the need to judge ourselves and others, and helping us towards a lighter, more playful attitude to life, even in life's trickier moments. It gives us a new way of looking at why 'bad' things sometimes happen, and a new way of dealing with those things when they occur. It also shows that everyone is loved by God in the same way, and that even people we may not consider to be our friends may be God's angels in disguise.'

Shiraz, a little girl living in Tehran, does not think of herself as being brave, but when she drops something she treasures from the balcony, she knows she will need all her courage to go and retrieve it. For it has fallen into the garden of an old woman who is very unusual very unusual indeed. This evocative tale delightfully reflects our own British folktale of Mother Frost , whereby magic waters reveal the state of the soul within so that it either shines forth in beauty or shows itself as a sad shadow. There is a wonderful, eastern twist at the end where the soul has to use its wisdom to follow instructions, which may not be quite what they seem. Told in true storytelling mode with an unobtrusive modern ring, and absorbingly illustrated by an artist who takes her inspiration from Van Gogh, Hockney and Matisse, this book is a teaching tool of enchantment whose legacy will endure.
