This amazing journey of a boy raised in North America is based on a mix of real-life and fictional situations. Shukran (pronounced /shook-ran/, which means 'gratitude' in Arabic) is full of innocent fun and silly rhymes with a powerful twist, highlighting universal human values. Utilizing years of experience in education, counseling, and parenting Dr. Khattab walks a young man towards gratitude. It is our hope that this story will put a smile on kids' faces and motivate them to appreciate their parents, pets, and the world at large.
