The puppetry reflects timeless human concerns—family, belonging, resilience—making it relatable across cultures. Puppetry is one of the oldest forms of narrative art; this book reconnects us with that primal form of expression. Puppetry transcends literacy barriers, making it a tool for inclusive education and communication. The handmade nature of the dolls promotes sustainable, low-cost artistic expression. Puppetry allows individuals to externalize trauma and explore healing through symbolic narratives. It subtly critiques societal expectations by showing girls as creators and narrators of their own destiny. The mentorship of the old woman reflects the importance of passing wisdom across generations. The book reminds us of the urgency to document and honor oral storytelling before it disappears. Through dolls and stories, it teaches how to “stay,” how to “be,” and how to “live”—lessons the modern world desperately needs.
We know this much that he lived in the second half of the 6th century and the first quarter of the 7th century, he was from Neishabur, and several books of poetry and one book of prose remain from him. Neither his masters, nor his contemporaries, nor his line of elders in Sufism, none of them, is clear for sure. We have no information about his possible travels and there is no definite information about his personal life and his wife, children, parents and relatives. In the seven centuries that have passed since his life, a variety of feeble and sickly poems have been created in his name, and it is not an easy task to separate Attar's reality from those nonsense. Therefore, those searching for Attar's biography should always be aware of this basic problem and always observe caution in their judgments. Everything that has been said in this regard has mostly been possibilities and legends, and perhaps this being hidden in the cloud of ambiguity is one of the reasons.
