My Little World: H.H. Sheikh Mohammed writes book for children

Dubai Media Office has launched a book written by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai.

Titled, ‘My Little World’, the book is a collection of five short stories based on the early life experiences of Dubai Ruler.

In his book, Sheikh Mohammed recounts incidents that shaped his outlook and values. The richly anecdotal stories share the life-changing lessons he learnt from past events.

Dedicated to the children in the age group of 6-9 years, it has been written in English and Arabic accompanied by pictorial illustrations. 

صاحب السمو الشيخ محمد بن راشد آل مكتوم: "إلى أبنائي وبناتي، عندما كنت صغيراً، سعيت دائماً لتعلُّم مهارات جديدة، وخضت مغامرات عديدة في البر والبحر، وها أنا انقلها لكم يا أبنائي لتُلهمكم وتمنحكم متعة القراءة."
