Have you ever wished you could be someone else? The crow and the peacock feathers story, called “The Seven Feathers” in Arabic, explores that exact feeling in a way young readers can relate to. It’s a free, colorfully illustrated PDF from the “Let’s Tell Stories” series, prepared by Maryam Yahya, with illustrations by Azza Soliman.
The story in brief
A crow is unhappy with how he looks. After watching a group of peacocks, he can’t stop comparing himself to them, and even his own reflection in the water makes him sadder. One night he collects seven fallen peacock feathers and attaches them to his tail.
Feeling like a new bird, he boasts to his crow friends that he’s far more beautiful than them and tells them to step aside. Then he leaves to join the peacocks. At first, they welcome him warmly, assuming he’s one of them who’s lost some feathers. But when he tries to imitate their calls, his real crow voice gives him away. The peacocks pluck out the feathers and send him away.
He returns to the crows, but they remember how he treated them and refuse to take him back. The story ends with him alone.
Important tip before you print
The 9-page file has its inside pages out of order. The correct reading order, counting the cover as page 1, is: 1, 6, 7, 8, 9, 2, 3, 4, 5. If you print the file as is, the ending will appear before the beginning, so reorder the pages first.

Talking points
Admiring the peacocks isn’t the problem here. The trouble begins when the crow looks down on himself and his friends. Ask your child: Does changing your appearance change who you are? How could the crow have apologized? Instead of ranking looks, focus on kindness and respecting differences.
