In Mo's Magical Stories by Mohsen Sharifi, children will experience a collection of three stories about sacrifice, transformation, and chances. The messages in The Lucky Fisherman, The Hermit, and Suleiman and the Flying Carpet will help children to improve their well being, stimulate confidence, and establish their self-worth. In The Lucky Fisherman, Hans's family and community were suffering during a famine. Hans felt the need to help and he got his chance. The sacrifices and the risks that Hans took led him on a journey that he would never forget. There are times that we must remember where we came from; Suleiman and the Flying Carpet is that type of story. Prince Victor was not only the ruler of the land, but possessed great power - he was feared by his subjects. One day his life changed when his need for more prestige and power was tested when he met a beggar. Prince Victor’s encounter with the beggar will change how the prince sees life from that day forward.

The stories told in Mo's Magical Stories by Mohsen Sharifi were expressed in such a beautiful fashion. As you read each short story, the characters and their adventures seem to come to life. Children will not only enjoy these stories, but they will be able to learn a lot about making choices, following instructions, and humility. How we respond to those defining moments in our lives builds character. Our character traits define us and establish who we are. As children read Mo's Magical Stories by Mohsen Sharifi, they will be able to see that the ability to concentrate less on themselves, make the right decisions, and look at how they can improve the lives of others is the better choice.
