«Álbum pequeño de Azur y Asmar» is the illustrated album by Michel Ocelot, published by EDICIONES SM in hardcover (40 pages, in Spanish).
It tells the story of two children raised as brothers despite their different appearance: Azur, blond with blue eyes, and Asmar, dark-skinned with black eyes. As adults, both pursue the same goal: to reach the Fairy of the Djinns to free her and conquer her. The adventure becomes a fable about tolerance and respect between cultures.
Published in January 2007, it belongs to the collection «Azur & asmar». The translation is by Wendy P. López.
Aimed at children and young readers, and also at adults looking for an illustrated fable about cultural diversity.
