Sofia is a bold and hot-tempered child, unlike her grandmother, who takes care of her after her mother's death.
Every summer, you go on a new adventure together of a different kind: exploring parts of the island you live on, meeting new types of birds, swimming in the dangerous bay without Sofia’s father knowing, sleeping in a tent, building a miniature model of Venice, and writing a book about insects. .
Without addressing their true feelings, they spend their days in endless conversations and discussions about everything: the meaning of life and death, the nature of God and Satan, heaven and hell, and the concepts of love, family, friendship, and tolerance.
By creating an integrated world on a small, isolated island, Tova Jansson writes - in a magical style, and simple sentences loaded with profound concepts - a sweet novel about the friendship between a child who begins her journey in life, and her grandmother, who is approaching the end of this journey.

A collection of stories by Emirati writer Obaid Ibrahim Bu Melha.

Beauty Café: A person's life is not devoid of many hardships: the departure of a loved one, the deterioration of health, the loss of money, the loss of a position... but despite all of that, we must continue to move forward, we must be optimistic, smile, and look to the future with eyes full of hope. We must cling to the moments of joy, and bite them with our jaws. Clinging to the moments of joy, from my point of view, is more useful than forgetting sadness. The heart is an open space for all feelings. If it is occupied by joy, it is narrowed by sadness, and if it is occupied by sadness, it is narrowed by joy. What we should be most wary of are moments of depression, as they are the ones that eat away at our lives without stopping, eating, eating, eating until they lead us to disappear. We are not alive because we wake up every morning, breathe, eat, and walk. We are alive for other reasons that are deeper and more closely related to the essence of life. We are alive because the passion is still within us, the passion to explore more in our lives, more that we don't know, but that we know we need.
