Description
The wonders of the Red Sea in a wonderful children's picture book
My Little Red Sea is a children's picture book that tells the adventures of Naham in the Red Sea.
A child like many others, Naham is nine years old and lives in Jeddah, a city on the coast of the Red Sea in Saudi Arabia. Together with his fisherman uncle, they spend hours at sea.
While Naham spends most of his time by the Red Sea, he doesn't know the magic it entails. Until one night, amazed by the magical bioluminescent fish, he falls into the water, gets sucked into the depths, and is brought before the Genius Loci who guides him to discover the wonders of the sea.
His adventures include going to school with other fish, cheering at a Marlyn speed race, and even attending a magnificent party!
But more importantly, Naham learns to respect and care for this underwater world so close to us yet still unknown.
