«La mesquita maravellosa» is the illustrated children's book by Ann Jungman, published by RBA Molino in hardback (32 pages, in Catalan).
In eighth-century Córdoba, turned by the Arabs into a great centre of wealth and learning, the Great Mosque presides over a city of gardens and fountains. Three children of different religions, Rashid, Samuel and Miguel, receive a punishment from the caliph that leads them to work for three months in the temple's gardens and to understand its beauty. As adults, they unite against the new Christian king's decision to demolish the mosque to build a church. A story based on real events that speaks of tolerance, respect and friendship.
Volume number 30 of the «INFANTIL CATALÀ» collection from RBA Molino, with Catalan translation by Jordi Pujol i Manyà. Published in November 2005.
For children's and young adult readers interested in the history of Al-Andalus and stories of coexistence between cultures.
