Mustapha is drowning in despair: his ears stick out and his nose is flat. He thinks he’s ugly and fears the crowd’s mockery. But his father, Nasreddine, sees things differently. With a twinkle in his eye and a story up his sleeve, he turns his son’s misery into a lesson. Through hilarious, absurd mishaps, this clever philosopher reveals a timeless truth: freedom begins when we stop fearing judgment. A book for anyone who’s felt out of place, and a reminder that confidence is our finest accessory.
