Curiosity pushed us forward and fear pushed us back. With the coming of spring, the feeling of traveling and going came to me. I wanted to fulfill my mother's wish to see all the wonderful countries. I did not know that I was going to go and that my going would continue for forty years. Imagine a cursed village where no girl has been born for years. Qamar, the hero of the book Journey to Strange Lands, begins his journey from the same strange village. An adventurous girl whose manuscripts are found in an old and abandoned house by the sea. Traveling to strange lands is an oriental fantasy similar to the stories of Sinbad and Ali Baba, which take us to the unknown lands of the Arab world. Sonia Nimr, a Palestinian author of this book of proverbs, puts the stories and pictures of the street and the market side by side on the pages of the book so that the stories, fantasies, and happiness of the people of her country will not be forgotten under the shadow of war and darkness.
Journey to Strange Lands won the Etisalat Award, the most important award for children's and youth literature in the Arab world. Sonia Nimr's books have been translated into many languages and were nominated for the Hans Christian Andersen and Astrid Lindgren awards.
