هذا الكتاب هو سيرة ذاتية موجزة لسمو الشيخ زايد. لم يكن سمو الشيخ زايد فقط قائدًا سياسيًا عاديًا، بل رجل بنظرة حاذقة للمستقبل، محبوب في كل أنحاء العالم، قام بتوحيد البلاد. شاعر بدوي يعيش حياة بسيطة، تحلى بحبه للمعرفة والعمل، وتمكن من قيادة البلاد وتوحيدها، فلقب ب “والد الأمة”.
A persistent and perceptive individual, who had a dream and worked hard to make it happen, founded the United Arab Emirates. Father Zayed narrates glimpses of Zayed Bin Sultan Al Nahyan’s biography for children to understand how a young man living in the desert envisioned and founded the UAE.
الشيخ زايد شخص بمعني الصفات شخص بكل معاني الاخلاق والعمل والتسامح رايته بعيني عام 2005 بالقرب من حديقه الخالديه في ابوظبي يسير وحده تحميه اخلاقه واحترام العالم له سارت القشعريره في جسدى والانبهار فعلا انا لست امام شخص عادى ادركت وايقنت للابد انه من العظماء رحمه الله عليك
I grabbed this book when I saw it without opening it, I thought with a title like that, it would be perfect for my 6yr.
Well, I'm disappointed, the events were all over the place and the ideas are not organized and lacking. The first thing the author talks about is that his father died when he was young and he went to Al Ain, then a few pages later, she talks about the things he learned in his fathers majles and what his father taught him!?? A bit confusing since he was dead in the first page! Then we are suddenly reading about his environmental interest, with a quick end on forming the Emirates.
My 6 yr was not interested, he had one question, Why did Baba Zayed go to Al Ain? A question I had to answer since the book doesn't say.
The illustrations were not good as well.
After I read it I had this urge to return the book and demand a refund!!!!
My kids really enjoy it when I go through Noor Ali Rashid, Shaikh Zayed photo book with them, they have learned so much from that.
I hope Kalimat read this, my kids and I really love your books, but this one needed lots of editing!
القصة جميلة كسرد بسيط لسيرة الشيخ زايد للاطفال و لكن التسلسل مُربك نوعاً ما، حيث بدأت القصة بولادة الشيخ في ابوظبي ثم موت والده و هو صغير ثم انتقاله الى العين مع والدته، و بعد عدة صفحات ذكرت الكاتبة أن الشيخ زايد الصغير تعلم في مجلس والده في أبوظبي القيم و الأخلاق .. يعني التسلسل غير سليم خاصة اذا قرأه طفل لوحده لن يفهم .. رسم الشيخ زايد و هو صغير غير جميل .. كان من الممكن رسمه بصورة اجمل ..
2 stars only 1 for our love to our father and the second for the art work in pages and cover :/ it's nice to see father Zayed as a little child like them with a big dream, I though it will be a nice and sweet idea to know him in childhood ♥ but what I get was the opposite >:( some lines are repeated in different sentences and words :/ which gives the same idea with different language. I wanted something more to read or to get from the book. what a fast and sudden endings? :D that's SO annoying. and creates questions to the readers this book is poor of ideas to understand. I read it for 2 times to see how children are going to understand that in few little pages.
