The Selfish Giant: In Farsi and English (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798896475965)

The Garden of the Heart: A Bilingual Journey of Love and Sharing

Step into the enchanting world of The Selfish Giant, one of Oscar Wilde's most touching and timeless tales-now beautifully retold in both Farsi and English for young readers. This heartwarming story tells of a grand garden owned by a giant who refuses to let children play within its walls. Every day, the children long to enter and fill the space with laughter and joy. But when the giant builds a tall wall to keep them out, his once beautiful garden falls under an endless winter-cold, silent, and lifeless. It isn't until the giant's heart softens and he learns the power of kindness, love, and sharing that the garden blossoms again and spring finally returns.

Through lyrical storytelling and emotional depth, The Selfish Giant becomes much more than a children's tale-it is a timeless fable about friendship, generosity, and redemption.
