Drawn from all species, the flock travels through the seven valleys: quest, love, understanding, detachment, unity, amazement, and death. The birds that endure reach the mountain to learn a profound lesson: that Simorgh the king is, in fact, each of them and all of them.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Peter Sis</b> is the author of more than twenty books and the seven-time recipient of the <i>New York Times Book Review</i>'s Best Illustrated Book of the Year award.
