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.
Where poetry is water, a cloud of perfume and rain, circling around the playing fields and the hum of things, only the poem is, when the poet’s soul is present, and his eternal, shortened yearning is present at the dock of wishes and the nooks of words. The moment of poetry is the poet’s feeling and pulse, his dream, and his vast, generous imaginations, a moment. The growing love, spreading the light within us, as if quenching a thirst.
Poetry is imagination, and perhaps a supplication creeps from behind words to make a supplication and weave a story. True poetry is us with all the beauty we carry and the feelings we harbor. It is something that flows like magic, making the moon rise.
The poem is some words that express us, and they may not express us, they leave us with pain and fatigue, as if the alphabet in its hidden secret refuses to be us/us, to become strangers to us. Here is an attempt to translate the self, and another attempt to express the other in some way, which may make him one of those whom the words here draw. .
In this literary work, I, you, and them, let us read with love, color the sky with joy, and follow the words.
An overview of the book: Exit from the Gate of the Past to Success
They are old stations that I passed through one day that created my future
But first, I must find the key to enter through this old gate, but with your help, and I will not enter it alone. You will be with me, and I will take you through these stations.
Beautiful memories are like a flock of birds that cannot be caught, but you can enjoy them passing in front of you
In order to live a more beautiful reality, we must realize what happened in the past and make it a gateway to our success and distinction and employ old lessons in new situations.
I also hope that by writing this book that I have made available to everyone so that everyone who has experienced loss or nostalgia for the past or a specific place can benefit from it, success and hope despite all circumstances are not impossible, and I want to show people how short life is.
Life is a beautiful novel. You should read it until the end. Never stop at a sad line. The ending may be beautiful.
