CHILDREN'S PICTURE BOOK
Back in 2008 Kurt Blum wrote an illustrated children’s book called “The Spotty Ghaidaan” as a spontaneous project during his free time. Fast forward 2019, Kurt was inspired by Rob Moore's webinar "How to Get Your Book Published" and rediscovered his children's book while rummaging through his hard drive archives. He diligently searched for an illustrator and found the talented Emirati artist Mohammed Al Rais, who created 32 delightful drawings for his book.
The children's picture book was launched on April 29, 2024 at the Abu Dhabi International Book Fair. It is published by Publishing House Al Fulk, Sharjah, UAE. www.alfulktp.com and www.orange-pier.com
“The Spotty Ghaidaan” is supported by governmental entities and private sponsors, mainly by The Ministry of Culture through the National Grant Program for Culture and Creativity program, the Embassy of Switzerland, Farnek Services LLC and Property Finder UAE.
It's available in English and Arabic.
