(Bilingual English-Spanish edition / Edición bilingüe inglés-español) Wanting badly to have a son, the Queen of Hich-Hich consults Arif the Wise Man on the matter. But because she fails to follow his precise instructions, she gives birth to a half-boy, whom she calls Neem. That Neem is able to make himself complete by an act of cleverness, negotiation and compromise teaches children much more than the expected, usual lesson of bravery. This enchanting tale, complete with fairies and a fire-breathing dragon, is marvelously and magically illustrated by Midori Mori and Robert Revels. Neem the Half-Boy is one of an illustrated series of Sufi teaching stories from the Middle East and Central Asia that were collected and adapted for children by Idries Shah, and that have captivated hearts and minds for more than a thousand years. The stories are designed to help children learn to examine their assumptions and to think for themselves.          Deseando desesperadamente tener un hijo varón, la reina de Hich-Hich consulta a Arif el Sabio sobre el asunto. Pero debido a que no sigue las instrucciones precisas de Arif, da a luz a un medio niño, a quien llama Neem. El hecho de que Neem sea capaz de completarse mediante un acto de inteligencia, negociación y compromiso les enseña a los niños mucho más que la lección de valentía habitual y esperada. Este cuento encantador, completo con hadas y un dragón que escupe fuego, está maravillosamente ilustrado por Midori Mori y Robert Revels. Neem el medio niño forma parte de una serie ilustrada de historias de enseñanza sufíes de Oriente Medio y Asia central que Idries Shah recopiló y adaptó para niños y que han cautivado corazones y mentes durante más de mil años. Las historias están diseñadas para ayudar a los niños a aprender a examinar sus suposiciones y a pensar por sí mismos.
