ARABISCH - He is 13 years old, and he spent it in Cairo between the private school, the club, the mall, and the modern apartment he lives in with his family. How will he find life in an old house in a small village in Qena, where his grandmother and his uncle, who works in agriculture, live? This book is his diary for that year, full of difficulties and exciting events. Every month, he recorded his thoughts, feelings, and impressions of what was going on around him, such as eating food, living in the sun, and playing football. To plant hibiscus, collect tomatoes, and attend the Mawlid. How did he prove his masculinity among the Saida and how did he deal with traditions that he did not believe in? He grew and changed a lot during this year, and his relationship with his sister Dina and his uncle Omar developed, and of course with his grandmother Ruqaya, whose monthly blog was inspired by the proverbs she had memorized about the months of the Egyptian year. The book was shortlisted for the Etisalat Children's Book Award 2014
