The Jewish Parrot
Aude Samama, François Azar
The Jewish Parrot and Other Judeo-Spanish Tales is a unique book which combines striking illustrations with folk tales told in both English and Judeo-Spanish, known as Ladino. Join François Azar, who adapted and translated the tales; theKamhis, a Sephardi family of singers from Bosnia; and illustrator Aude Samama as they rejoice in a culture which, like Yiddish, has never really disappeared.
