Review by Iheartbks -- Bedu: Bedouin Boy, Poet King
[Following is a volunteer review of "Bedu: Bedouin Boy, Poet King" by David W. Sutherland and Paul McKellips.]
Bedu: Bedouin Boy, Poet King, written by David W. Sutherland and Paul Mckellips, is a charming short story about a young Bedouin boy named Bedu. With nothing to his name but being a shepherd and being gifted with words, the story takes readers on Bedu's colorful and exciting adventure of self discovery and learning.
It all begins one evening as Bedu is about to have dinner with his family in there humble home in Damascus. Their usually uneventful evening is unexpectedly interrupted with the arrival of a king, his granddaughter and their army of soldiers, all of which who seek food and shelter after a long journey. Despite having close to nothing to begin with, Bedu's generous father quickly prepares the little they do have and serves it to the king and his army. As repayment, the king hands Bedu five gold coins and asks him to travel to Hebron to buy new livestock for their family to make up for all they eaten, not knowing that the king was truly sending him on a journey towards self discovery.
One of the things I liked most about this book was the journey of self discovery itself. In my opinion, the authors did a great job in unfolding Bedu's journey and revealing all the lessons he learnt about life and himself along the way. Through Bedu's story we learn that certain things don’t always come easy. We learn that there often may be road blocks on the way and it is up to us how we handle overcoming it. The book also expresses the importance of different issues such as teamwork, acceptance, leadership and respect for others.
Another thing that I liked about the book was the way it was written. I believe the manner in which the authors wrote the story played a huge part in making the story what it is. They did a great job in portraying every moment and describing certain things in such a way that definitely added to the excitement of the journey.
In conclusion, I thought this was a great and well written book that I could not find any fault in and therefore gave it four out of four stars. Although I think it should be read at least once by everyone, I would definitely introduce this book to someone when they are a young teen because I believe it would make the most impact at that age.

The descriptions on the book were really great. When he started his school I could almost see the kids sitting around listening to his stories. Nice review!
