The Tale of the Tiger Slippers by Jan Brett myths Rainer Maria RilkeJan 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.
