(Bilingual English-Dutch edition) When a good-natured lion, king of all the animals, sees his reflection in a pool of water for the first time, he gasps at the fierce creature staring back at him and is too frightened to drink - until, finally, he overcomes his fear. Children learn through the lion how to deal positively with the fears and inhibitions that so often arise from situations they may not yet understand. Originally told by the 13th-century Sufi poet Jalaluddin Rumi, The Lion Who Saw Himself in the Water is one of a series of teaching stories that were collected by Idries Shah and that have been used in the East for hundreds of years as educational instruments to help children understand life. Ingrid Rodriguez's beautiful illustrations bring this children's version to life with warmth, humor and a distinctive richness of detail. (Tweetalige Engels-Nederlands editie) Wanneer de goedmoedige Share de Leeuw, koning van alle dieren, zijn spiegelbeeld ziet in een plas water, verstijft hij als het woeste wezen naar hem terug staart. Hij is te bang om te drinken, totdat hij uiteindelijk leert zijn angst te overwinnen. Kinderen leren via Share de Leeuw hoe ze positief kunnen omgaan met de angsten en remmingen die zo vaak voortkomen uit situaties die ze misschien nog niet begrijpen. Dit is een van een reeks verhalen verzameld door Idries Shah - een Leerverhaal - dat al honderden jaren in het Oosten wordt gebruikt als educatief instrument om kinderen te helpen het leven te begrijpen. Dit verhaal werd oorspronkelijk verteld door de 13e-eeuwse soefidichter Jalaluddin Rumi. De prachtige illustraties van Ingrid Rodriguez brengen het verhaal tot leven met warmte en humor en een kenmerkende rijkdom aan details.

Autorenporträt
Idries Shah spent much of his life collecting and publishing Sufi classical narratives and teaching stories from oral and written sources in the Middle East and Central Asia. The tales he retold especially for children are published by Hoopoe Books in beautifully illustrated editions and have been widely commended - by Western educators and psychologists, the U.S. Library of Congress, National Public Radio and other media - for their unique ability to foster social-emotional development, thinking skills and perception in children and adults alike. Told for centuries, these stories express universal themes from the cultures that produced them, showing how much we have in common and can learn from each other. As noted by reviewers, such stories are more than just entertaining; familiarity with them provokes flexibility of thought, since each one contains levels of meaning that unfold in accordance with an individual's experience and understanding.
