Heart of The City

Graphic Novel | Arabic

A violent sound shakes the city. A balloon man’s heart flies out from fear. We follow the ballon man on his journey to try and catch his heart. A story on crossing borders and fears, on giving and receiving, on the futile violence killing innocent people every day around the world. What will happen to the heart?

The poetry of the text is heightened by the poetry of the drawings.

A book for our adolescent readers may they avoid the mistakes of the elders.
