A Weave of Words
An Armenian tale retold by Robert D. San Souci
illustrated by Raul Colon
Anait is a refreshing female character who is not taken in by Prince Vachagan's position and power. She prefers a life partner who knows how to read and write and has a trade. Likewise, Prince Vachagan is impressed not only by her beauty but by Anait's good sense, quick wit and easy laugh.
Each character grows to become a better version of themselves because of their union. And in troubled times, it is what they have learned from each other that helps save the day.
This is a children's book full of wisdom about finding your one true love, with beautiful illustrations to boot. Highly recommended for adults.
