The Earth Shook: A Persian Tale

by Donna Jo Napoli and Gabi Swiatkowska

Book Overview

In this moving story inspired by the events of the 2003 earthquake in Bam, Iran, a little girl names Parisa--Farsi for like an angel--is left confused and alone as the earth shakes. She doesn't despair, though--she dances, she laughs, and she celebrates the ties that bring humans together. Full color.
