A Visit to My Grandmother

About this book

A Visit to My Grandmother brings together stories and short plays designed to entertain children while opening space for reflection. Farida Samir moves between fantasy and everyday life: Karma encounters a magical shoe, a loving grandmother turns experience into wisdom, Alaa learns the value of ambition, and Mahmoud comes to appreciate his father, a clown whose work carries unexpected dignity. Each episode approaches a familiar value—humility, justice, diligence, or affection—through characters and situations young readers can recognize. The collection encourages children to reconsider the small choices that shape relationships and to see imagination as a path toward empathy and understanding.
