Azizi lives in a country governed by greedy rulers, who capture all blue birds and lock them up in a big cage in the courtyard of their palace. The people suffer and live in fear, until one day a little blue bird escapes from the cage. Together with Azizi it sets out on a long journey to free the people of their cruel and relentless rulers.
Written by Laila Koubaa and illustrated by Mattias de Leeuw.
Azizi and the Little Blue Bird […] looks and sounds like a story from the Arabian Nights, but also suggests every current thought-policing regime in the world. {The Sunday Times}
The beautiful illustrations perfectly match the tone of the book and will allow younger children to follow the story. A fabulous way to introduce cultural diversity to multicultural readers. {BookTrust}
