What happens when the courier company makes a great offer, and how will the goose help Jamal? “70 Kilos” is a story about friendship and that the strength and main condition of friendship is mutual exchange. But it is a story not only about friendship. “70 Kilos” is about weights and distances, and about hobbies, and above all, about the importance of striving, promoting the idea of reaching the goal and changing the plan when needed.
The Etisalat Award for Arabic Children's Literature is one of the most important children's literature prizes in the Arab world and one of the richest in the world. It was launched in 2009 on the initiative of Her Highness Sheikha Bodour bint Sultan Al-Qasimi, President of the United Arab Emirates Board on Books for Young People and Founder / CEO of Kalimat publishing house.
The restructuring of the Award will serve to attract an even larger segment of the publishing industry and thereby encourage more publishers, authors and illustrators to play a role in developing the Arabic children's book sector.
