The collection of short stories for children, “My Beloved Emirati,” includes 12 short stories for ages ranging from 2 to 13 years
Latifa Al-Hajj was keen to choose simple words, focusing on social issues and behaviors that should be paid attention to and educate children about, such as respect for others, kindness to animals, and appreciation of the country’s flag. I also presented, through some stories, the importance of every child having an independent personality based on confidence and pride in the advantages God has given him.
This is Latifa Al-Hajj’s first experience in writing children’s literature after her story “The Pigeon Lamp” was approved in the Arabic language curriculum for the tenth grade at the Ministry of Education in the UAE.
