Jan Brett reimagines a powerful Middle Eastern folk tale that celebrates hard work and appreciating your roots. Set in India, this gorgeous reimagining of the classic Middle Eastern folk tale "Abu Kassem's Slippers" features a poor tiger cub who is a very hard worker. His mother weaves him slippers to protect his feet from stones and thorns, and they allowed him to prosper--first making bricks, then building houses, and eventually becoming very wealthy. He continues to wear them until someone questions why such a prominent person would wear such worn shoes. Feeling embarrassed, Tiger tries to get rid of the slippers, but fate keeps bringing them back. Finally, Tiger sends them to his uncle, who weeps with pride when he sees the slippers his sister made and his nephew used to accomplish so much. He sets off right away to visit them, bringing the slippers along. Tiger can't believe the slippers are back again, but his little cub gives him an idea: honor the slippers by building a special place for them, to remind him of how far he's come. Jan Brett's lush, vibrant version of this story will inspire fans of her international retellings to appreciate the hard work that leads to all of their successes.Binding Type: Hardcover

LOVE this pillow!!!! I have 2!!!!
Size: Queen (Mid Loft), Number of Items: 1
Well…..I have a love affair with these latex pillows. I purchased 2 of them. I have been allergic to feathers since birth and could only use latex pillows growing up. But, they became very hard to find for many years. I tried all the other kinds of pillows on the market and hated them all!!! “Won’t go flat!”….. whatever! They would go flat almost immediately. Or “Good for side sleepers!”….. NOPE!! I had a stiff neck for a week!! DONE with all of them. So,I finally got on Amazon and found this pillow. Ahhhhhh!! Loved it. Slept like a log! All night! Didn’t go flat!! No stiff neck!!! A winner!!!! Frankly,I don’t care about the cost… yeah…I know….we call have to count our change……including me. I saved to buy this pillow…..both times. AND, I would do it AGAIN!!!! And…proud to do it! So, if you have had it with all of those new prefangled so-called pillows…try this one. I would only avoid it like the plague if you are allergic to latex. Otherwise,I would definitely recommend this pillow! Wherever I go….my pillow goes. Camping, on a trip, to visit relatives…..my pillow will travel!!!!

Side sleeping pillow
Style: Standard - Medium
Great pillow for specific people. If you want a firm yet soft pillow for side sleeping then it works great. Not as good for back sleepers but it's very comforting and cooling.
