CAIRO - The Egyptian General Authority for Cultural Palaces (GACP), one of the main institutions within the Egyptian Ministry of Culture, has published the children’s story ‘Talal, Son of Adibeh’ via Toot App, a digital platform dedicated to distributing children's stories.

‘Talal, Son of Adibeh’ is a children story based on the childhood and remarkable life journey of HE Dr. Talal Abu-Ghazaleh, founder and chairman of Talal Abu-Ghazaleh Global Digital (TAG.GD). The story carries significant life values and life lessons. It also offers an indirect symbolic depiction of the Palestinian cause, represented through Dr. Abu-Ghazaleh’s life story, conveying details of the suffering of the displaced Palestinian families and emphasizing that determination, patience, and a steadfast pursuit of happiness and success can lead to overcoming hardships.
As stated by the GACP, the Toot App offers a collection of books, including ‘Talal, Son of Adibeh’ by Jordanian author Ms. Areej Younis. The book, a biography addressing the children, is filled with positive values, principles, and behaviors intended to inspire the readers.
Toot App offers a valuable opportunity for authors, writers, and publishing houses interested in children's literature to publish their creative works. This is part of the “Gifted Books” initiative, which aims to promote culture and foster imagination and creativity in children, especially during school summer vacation.
It is worth mentioning that the ‘Talal, Son of Adibeh’ story has been translated into numerous languages with introductions written by both Arab and international authors in their native languages, due to their interest in being part of this educational and literary work. Furthermore, educational and pedagogical leaders across several countries have called for including the story as part of extracurricular school activities for early-grade students, where the Palestinian Ministry of Education and Higher Education was the first to do so.
