Naomi, the Magic Pillow and the Wonders of the Sahara & Nile Lands is a richly illustrated, sensory-filled children's adventure that blends history, culture and imagination.
Each night, Naomi snuggles into her beloved magic pillow and is carried across the extraordinary landscapes of North Africa and the Sahara. Along the way, she meets a Sphinx who has forgotten his riddle, encounters magical creatures, discovers ancient stories and experiences the traditions, foods, art and natural wonders of the people she meets.
Through Naomi's courageous and curious eyes, history becomes alive, painted animals step from stone walls and moonlight reveals secrets hidden beneath the desert sands. Every chapter encourages children to see, hear, smell, taste and feel the world around them while learning that the greatest treasures are often found in ordinary people, shared stories and acts of kindness.
Warm, educational and filled with wonder, this enchanting journey invites young readers to explore unfamiliar places with curiosity, courage and respect.
