The book was translated into Arabic by Kalima Organization within Abu Dhabi International Book fair in UAE, with the support of Pro Helvetia, the Swiss Arts Council.
Soliman will tell her audience the full details of "Heidi's" relationship to her new friend. Why didn't she stay in the city? What kind of adventures did she have when she decided to go back to her grandfather on the mountains? How did she learn to read and write?
