One morning, the children's playground is invaded by an enormous black bubble that occupies almost the entire space. At first, the children try to understand where it came from, then to get rid of it, but their efforts are in vain. They all try to accept the situation, all except Marwan. Having tried everything to get rid of the bubble, out of anger, he kicks it... And it starts to crumble! Finally, all the children will help him to overcome this cumbersome mass... Walid Taher, an Egyptian artist, has produced a very powerful and expressive work, based on a sophisticated graphic construction. The book won the 2010 Etisalat Award for Best Children’s Book in Arabic.
