The protagonist of the story is a young girl named Sahar, who lives in Persia. She possesses a unique ability to see her reflection not in a mirror, but in the stars and the earth around her. On her wedding day, Sahar sees her reflection in a mirror for the first time and is devastated to discover that she does not recognize herself. She believes that another bride has taken her place and runs away, heartbroken.
Her love, who is determined to win her back, follows her relentlessly. He tries to convince Sahar that the reflection she saw was actually her, but she refuses to believe him. Sahar must explain to her love that her shape cannot be contained so neatly. She is the shape of water in the lake, the sun when it rises and sets, and the moon when full and at crescent.
Through her journey, Sahar learns to embrace her uniqueness and to see the beauty in the world around her. She realizes that her reflection is not just a reflection of herself, but a part of something much larger and more magnificent. The story ends with Sahar and her love reunited, and they are able to celebrate their love in the grand beauty of the wider world.
Once Upon a Time in Persia is a breathtaking fairytale that will transport readers to a world of magic and wonder. With its intricate illustrations and powerful message, it is a must-read for anyone who loves stories that celebrate the beauty of the human spirit and the world we live in.
