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.
The book is a story for children aged 12 to 15 years From the life, achievements and genius of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister, may God protect him... It combines science fiction... and the contemporary reality of His Highness’s achievements... and sheds light on the Emirates Space Project and the Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Space Foundation and their most important achievements.
Another postman from Scarmita, but this time he was found in Nicaragua; To be a witness to the last weeks that paved the way for the fall of “Somutha,” the last dictator of Nicaragua. In those decisive moments, the residents of the city of Leon are divided between a majority supportive of the rebels led by Augusto Cesar Sandino, and a minority loyal to the regime and its soldiers. Among them, Scarmita creates a special magical world. The postman decides Letters carrying news of death are better not to arrive, and the oldest woman in the city pretends to be an old widow. To cover up her political activity, the beautiful Vicki shouts in the face of the military, and with them we see the priest, the barber, and others, inventing their own “Trojan horse” to make the rebellion successful and take control of the city.
Through a text that has multiple rhythms and narrative styles, and is full of metaphors, Scarmetta shows how a single event can differ in its impact and meaning depending on the angle from which it is viewed. For some, loss and defeat become a victory and an unforgettable moment for others.
In this work, Scarmeta carries the concerns of Nicaragua; Because for him, the struggle against dictatorships is the same regardless of place.
