Bedu: Bedouin Boy, Poet King

Bedu, a shepherd boy from Damascus, is enthralled when King Melchior arrives at his family's simple home with more than a hundred warriors and his beautiful granddaughter, Yasmin, in tow. When Bedu's father offers the king a feast, including a dinner with the family's last seven sheep and four goats, the king gifts Bedu five gold coins and sends him to Judea to replace the herd. But in this magical journey of self-discovery, what Bedu finds is greater in value than any livestock. Travelers have always relied on stars to guide their journey, and Bedu follows the stars to transform from what he 'does' to become who he is truly meant to 'be.' In the spirit of The Defense of Duffer's Drift and A Message to Garcia, this simple tale offers profound insights on leadership and living with a purpose.
