She added, “My father wrote these poems for me on my birthday, and they are called Songs to Beautiful Things.” This is a collection of gentle poems by Dr. Abdel Wahab El-Messiri, in which he contemplates the world of children, the colors and scenes around them, and the thoughts and feelings within them.
