The Stranger's Farewell / Het afscheid van de vreemdeling

The story centers on a young couple who, after generously hosting a weary traveler, receive a surprising blessing in return for their kindness. Their good deed leads to a dramatic change in their fortunes, contrasting sharply with the greedy merchant who seeks to exploit the stranger's powers but faces dire consequences instead. Set in Afghanistan, this retelling by Palwasha Bazger Salam introduces children to a rich culture while imparting valuable lessons about generosity and its impact. The book features beautiful illustrations by Marie Lafrance.
