Life in the Twinkle of an Eye
Two journeys, two stories, two lives – a woman’s across time, distance, and relationships and a city’s from one-time-village to a metropolis and giant hub of trade and human activity. Like Aladdin on the magic carpet, we are afforded a bird’s eye of all that goes on in our daily lives — juxtaposed with the near-fantastic rise of a little hamlet, a one-time watering hole to a prime centre of global business and entrepreneurship. The story of one life as it cared for, tended to, and touched many lives: family, friends, and the needy. Alongside, a very personal and nuanced narrative of a megalopolis, a melting pot of cultures, a global village, an important centre in the land of black gold. Fast-paced and exuding a remarkable understanding of human emotions, our greatness of spirit and our frailties, the two lives present an engaging and poignant story deeply rooted in history and riveting to the end.
Our Dementia Diary
Saeed is going to learn how to dive - his father has promised to teach him! It is the start of the pearling season and this is his first trip out on the waters of the Arabian Gulf. Leaving the rest of his family behind on the shore, Saeed and his father join the crew of a pearling dhow and set out to spend the hot summer months on the high seas. He learns how the pearl divers hunt for the treasures of the seabed, and discovers the secrets and dangers of the sea.This delightful story, carefully researched from oral and written sources - some dating from more than 150 years ago - offers an insight into the way of life that sustained the Arabian Gulf right up until the discovery of oil. The winning charm of Patricia Al Fakhri's watercolors combine with Julia Johnson's narrative to make The Pearl Diver a perennial favorite with children aged 8 to 12.Since its first publication in 2003, it has sold more than 30,000 copies worldwide.The Pearl Diver is a suggested resource in Hamilton Trust's Key Stage 2 unit on stories from other cultures.
