Egypt releases trilingual children's book in solidarity with Gaza - Society
As part of its cultural and humanitarian mission, Egypt's Ministry of Culture has released a new children's book titled Heroes in the Water Line in Arabic, English, and French, as a gesture of solidarity with the children of Gaza.
Published by the National Center for Translation under the ministry's Translation from Arabic initiative, the book is described as a message of love and resilience from Egypt's children to their peers in Palestine.
Written by Amani Suleiman Dawoud and illustrated by Rana Hatamleh, the story follows three friends—Youssef, Mostafa, and Ibrahim—growing up under bombardment in Gaza. Despite the violence surrounding them, they navigate life with the weapon of resilience, holding fast to hope for a better future.
The story was translated into English by Lamiaa Tawfik and into French by Bouchayer Allam.
According to the ministry, the initiative seeks to amplify the voices of Gaza's children, promote cross-cultural empathy, and affirm the role of literature in fostering shared human values across linguistic and national borders.
