Mahmoud is a little boy who loves his grandmother Karima and her amazing stories, but when his mother travels and leaves him with his grandmother, he begins to feel bored and upset, and discovers that he does not like her big house and old furniture. One day the two of them face a dangerous event, and their relationship develops: each one rediscovers the other, discovers himself, and discovers the value of the old and the importance of the new. Hope and happiness return to them—things that so often disappear from our own lives. A wonderful human story by the distinguished writer Fatma Al-Maadoul, illustrated by the world-renowned Helmi El-Touni, through whose art young readers discover the true value of love and work.
