(Bilingual English-Spanish edition / Edición bilingüe inglés-español) Fatima is a young woman whose life seems beset by one disaster after another. Setting forth on a journey from her home in the West, she is shipwrecked and cast ashore alone near Alexandria, Egypt. Adopted by a local family of weavers, and beginning to prosper in her new life, she is captured and forced to work making masts for ships. While undertaking a journey to sell the masts, she finds herself shipwrecked once again - this time off the coast of China, where she finally realizes that what seemed to be disasters were really essential steps toward her eventual fulfillment. Full of wisdom and depth, and ideal as a bedtime story, Fatima's tale helps children understand the need for perseverance to reach their goals. This traditional teaching story is well known in Greek folklore, but the present version is attributed to Sheikh Mohamed Jamaludin of Adrianople (modern-day Edirne in Turkey), who died in 1750. Fatima the Spinner and the Tent is filled with wonderful illustrations by Natasha Delmar, who was taught to paint by her father, the celebrated classic Chinese painter Ng Yi-Ching. Delmar captures Fatima's adventures with a wealth of detail and color and, using Middle Eastern and Chinese design, transports readers to the exotic lands of Fatima's travels in a way delightful to both young and old. Fátima es una joven cuya vida parece acosada por un desastre tras otro. Al emprender un viaje desde su hogar en Occidente, naufraga y las olas la arrojan a las costas cerca de Alejandría, en Egipto. Al encontrarse sola, es adoptada por una familia local de tejedores y comienza a prosperar en su nueva vida, pero es capturada y obligada a trabajar en la fabricación de mástiles para barcos. Mientras emprende un viaje para vender los mástiles, vuelve a naufragar, esta vez frente a las costas de China, donde finalmente se da cuenta de que lo que parecían ser desastres eran pasos realmente esenciales para su eventual realización personal. Lleno de sabiduría y profundidad, e ideal para ser escuchado antes de dormir, el cuento de Fátima ayuda a los niños a comprender la necesidad de la perseverancia para alcanzar sus metas. Esta historia de enseñanza tradicional es bien conocida en el folclore griego, pero la versión actual se atribuye al jeque Mohamed Jamaludin de Adrianópolis (la actual Edirne en Turquía), que murió en 1750. Fátima la hilandera y la tienda de campaña está maravillosamente ilustrado por Natasha Delmar, quien aprendió este arte con su padre, el célebre pintor clásico chino Ng Yi-Ching. Delmar captura las aventuras de Fátima y las ilustra con una gran cantidad de detalles y colores. Utilizando elementos chinos y del Medio Oriente, transporta a los lectores a las tierras exóticas de los viajes de Fátima de una manera que deleita tanto a niños como a adultos.
