Join Dubai Abulhoul and discover how her passion for these stories which are passed from generation to generation inspired her to write books for children with well-known traditional characters at their heart.
Traditional stories have an amazing array of characters, some scary and some not as frightening as they appear. Should we judge people based on how they look or act? Come and hear about Abu Al Salasel, a strange creature with red skin who is covered in metal chains; but what is he REALLY like?
