Presentation
In this beautiful book told from the perspective of a grain of sand from a desert in Mesopotamia, readers will learn the story of Enreduana, a poet and philosopher who was born in 2300 BC and is considered the first female writer in the world. Enreduana recorded her texts on clay tablets and was in love with the goddess Inanna. She was expelled from her own kingdom by her brother, but returned to assume her role as high priestess not long after.
Roger Mello and Mariana Massarani come together in this poem to show young and old readers the story of this woman who immortalized her words – and their importance – in clay.
