Five children. Five civilizations. One mysterious creature. Before maps had proper names, something enormous moved through mist, water, and flame. Across different generations and continents, five children — Mei, Yaxkin, Bjorn, Nubia, and Layla — each catch a glimpse of something they cannot explain. None of them knows about the others. None realizes that their encounters may be connected. But what if they all saw the same creature?   One Creature, Many Names , by Mr. Nour, follows these five mysterious sightings across five civilizations and explores the secret that remained hidden for centuries.

The Night the City Went Quiet   Every night, while the city sleeps, someone is awake. In this gentle bedtime story set in Dubai, a friendly streetlamp introduces young readers to the quiet helpers who work through the night — a baker kneading dough before dawn, a fisherman checking his nets by moonlight, a nurse walking softly through hospital halls, and a falcon keeping watch over the rooftops. As the sky slowly changes color and morning arrives, a little girl wakes to a warm, safe world she doesn't even know was made possible by these unseen night workers. The Night the City Went Quiet is a warm, beautifully illustrated picture book for ages 5–9 about gratitude, community, and the comfort of knowing someone is always looking out for you — even while you dream. Featuring the iconic skyline of Dubai, including the Burj Khalifa and Burj Al Arab.    By Mr. Nour ISBN: 9781291563702 Available for sale at Lulu Bookstore: e-Book & EPUB: https://www.lulu.com/shop/mr-nour/the...
