مملكة القرنقعوة<br />

Mamlaket Al Garangao = The Garangao Kingdom<br />

Literature Centre for Training and Consulting, 2013 • ISBN 9789927400919<br />

Garangao is the traditional children’s festival<br />

day in the middle of the Islamic Holy month<br />

of Ramadan during which children roam the<br />

neighbourhoods singing traditional songs, as<br />

they fill their bags with sweets and nuts from the<br />

neighbours. Noura dreams of building an entire<br />

kingdom out of her Garangao candy. She soon<br />

finds herself in a land full of talking sweets and<br />

nuts and embarks on a delicious journey. It all<br />

starts with a little voice coming from her bag.<br />

The book is bilingual in Arabic and English.<br />
