More about the book

A story written in both English and Arabic, where a child takes a walk on the beach with only a bucket, a shovel, and their imagination. Creativity provides for an eventual parade of 'friends' who meet in the centerfold of the book and promise to return again another day. As English is read and written from left to right and Arabic is read and written from right to left, the two stories meet on the centerfold page to form one single page, a single space where imagination, creativity, and culture meet. This centerfold, where these two languages meet, form a bridge in the story, a bridge between cultures and languages. Children, imaginary friends, and family come to life in the story and promise to return to walk and to play together again another day, on the beach. Children, in fact all of us, are similar all over the world; it is our cultures that 'flavor' us. Enjoy reading this book in English from left to right, or in Arabic from right to left.
