Ahmed and the Feather Girl

Ahmed is a poor orphan who lives with a travelling circus and works for cruel Madame Saleem. His life is changed forever when he finds a beautiful egg in the forest and brings it back to the circus. From the egg hatches a little girl called Aurelia, who grows feathers and wings. Madame Saleem cages Aurelia as the top circus attraction. Ahmed knows he must free Aurelia, and when he does, Madame Saleem retaliates, making his life miserable. All hope seems lost until Aurelia visits Ahmed in a dream, bringing him a feather. This tale of magic, enchantment, and freedom, packed with evocative illustrations, is a triumph from a master storyteller and illustrator of children's books.
