Radija used to live in the middle of the desert, together with her parents and five siblings. She would enjoy imagining the day when she would go with the merchants’ traveling group, selling her “magic” carpets that used to feed her imagination and telling her stories. Her father used to say to her she could not travel without him or her husband.
Despite the adversities, she did not give up her dream and turned out to be a very special storyteller.
This book is part of the Project Ways of Changing the World, based on the 8 Millennium Development Goals proposed by the United Nations. The third Goal, “Promote gender equality and empower women”, motivated Radija and the Magic Carpet.
