King Abdulaziz Public Library publishes three new children's books

King Abdulaziz Public Library has published three new children's books: "Ana Uhibbu" (I Love), "Rihla ila Al-Shawq" (A Journey to Longing), and "Al-Jamal" (The Camel). All three titles are written by author and literary figure Masrah Tuqan, who believes in the power of storytelling to instill love and belonging, and aspires to create enjoyable, creative books that enhance children's language skills and connect them to their language and identity.

The book "Ana Uhibbu," illustrated by Noha Jamal, introduces the concept of belonging to one's homeland and Saudi identity in a simple and unique way, fostering children's pride in their country. Through this book, children learn about good citizenship and the importance of caring for themselves and the environment in an engaging and enjoyable manner.

"Rihla ila Al-Shawq" is a read-aloud book with illustrations by Fatima Aliou, and also comes as an audio book. The back cover includes a small device for listening to the story, which takes children on a sensory journey to a traditional Saudi market, where they explore distinctive products and crops for which the Kingdom is known, enjoying lively sounds and authentic experiences.

The third book, "Al-Jamal" (The Camel), features illustrations by artist Dina Fawakheri. This interactive book for young readers celebrates the camel, a symbol of culture and identity in the Arabian Peninsula. It introduces children to the camel's physical features and names in a fun, interactive style.

All three books are published in a distinctive small format, with colorful covers and artistic illustrations suited to children's awareness and age group.
