Qutlugh Terkan Khatun of Kirman: Thinking Girl's Treasury of Real Princesses

Autor Shirin Yim Bridges Ilustrat de Albert Nguyen
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 30 sep 2010 – vârsta de la 9 până la 12 ani
Ages 9 to 13 years. In what could be a tale from The Arabian Nights, this book tells the story of a girl who grew up in 13th-century Persia to be so desirable that she was kidnapped several times for her beauty. Qutlugh Terkan Khatun found refuge at last in the arms of a prince, who married her and made her a princess. With him she ruled a nation, and the people asked her to continue as their sovereign after the prince's death. Her wisdom brought the people a golden age of peace and prosperity, and she is known, above all, for her kindness and compassion. Sections on the clothes Qutlugh Terkan Khatun wore, the foods she ate, and why she is remembered today are included.

The Umbrella Queen made TIME/CNN’s Top 10 Lists and was also named a Best Children’s Book by the Bank Street College of Education. Horrible Hauntings won an IRA/CBC Children's Choices Award. Mary Wrightly So Politely launched in April 2013 to starred reviews in both Kirkus and Publishers Weekly. To date, every book that Shirin has written or published has achieved national acclaim.

Responsible for the pen-and-watercolor illustrations that bring our princesses to life, Albert Nguyen received his MFA from the Academy of Art in 2006. He grew up in Minnesota before moving to San Francisco. In addition to being fond of drawing, painting, comics, and cartoons, Albert has a special affection for chubby animals.
The Thinking Girl’s Treasury of Real Princesses are his first children’s books.
