This is the story of the Báb, a young Siyyid Who lived in Persia in the nineteenth century. The beauty and purity of His short life shine out amid the dark corruption of the times. When He said that He was the Promised One Who had come to renew religion and prepare the way for One greater than Himself Whose teachings would bring peace to the world, His message spread like wildfire across the land, awakening the hearts of people everywhere.

The appearance of the Báb was like the sun rising above the horizon at dawn, heralding the beginning of a new day in the history of mankind. It was a time of great excitement, heroic deeds, and a new outpouring of love into the world. This beautifully illustrated history will appeal to readers of all ages.

Saichiro Fujita loved ‘Abdu’l-Bahá and made the aim of his entire life to be of service to Him. He was a source of great joy to everyone. He was faithful, capable, and full of laughter.

Once someone asked Fujita what he did for ‘Abdu’l-Bahá. He replied, "I never felt that I could do very much for ‘Abdu’l-Bahá." Then, after a pause, he added, "Sometimes I made Him laugh."

This is Fujita-san’s story. It is told through the words of a youthful gardener from Papua New Guinea named Mia, and shared with Paolo, a 10-year-old boy from Brazil.
