Karkarah, which means "tickling" in the Arabic Levantine dialect, deals with the day-to-day life of Yasar, a young boy with Down syndrome. In this story, Yasar tells us about his family, his feelings, and his day-to-day activities. In this heartwarming story, Yasar shows readers how he might react differently to daily challenges but how similar his life is to other little boys and girls. This book provides a great opportunity for discussion about children with special needs and how we can be supportive and understanding of diversity around us.
