My Persian Rug #993105

A little boy.
A special rug.
A journey filled with hope.
When Samir must leave his home, he takes one precious thing with him – his Persian rug. Together, they travel across mountains, cities, and new beginnings. The rug becomes his friend, his comfort, and the keeper of all his happiest memories.
My Persian Rug is a warm and heartfelt story about love, safety, and finding light even in the darkest moments.

Patricia Beites Do Pio was born in France to Portuguese immigrant parents. Her life has taken her across many countries – from Belgium to Turkey and many other places. But what defines her most is her experience as the child of immigrants. Her family’s history under Portugal’s Salazar dictatorship and economic adversities have shaped her deepest empathy for those facing today’s geopolitical struggles. It is this legacy that guides her voice and fuels her desire to tell stories that connect past and present, pain and hope.
