Author's name: Salma Lagerlöf Publisher: Al-Mada for Publishing and Distribution Year of publication: 2018 Literary classification: Novel Brief about the book: The novel of the Swedish writer Salma Lagerlöf, who won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1909, and the novel issued in 1906 is the most famous and prominent among her works and writings. After being commissioned by the National Union of Teachers in Sweden to write an educational book for children that sparks their interest in the geography of their country, she was enthusiastic about the idea. She spent three years reading and traveling across Sweden to produce a book that includes the geography of the place, through the towns and cities she visited, and through the culture of these places and the folk tales she enjoyed hearing as a child, touching on customs, traditions, and folk arts to make her book comprehensive. The issue of educating young children and searching for the best global curricula to attract them and enable communication with them remains a worldwide issue that has not found a solution suitable for the era and its developments. Meanwhile, the writer Salma, at the beginning of her life and after working in the teaching profession for more than ten years, was able to accept the challenge. She dedicated three years of her life to a special adventure, traveling through her country, exploring nature and geography, and listening to all the stories about folk legends to turn them into a charming story. It may seem smaller than expected, but it holds greater value and the ability to become an educational curriculum that achieves the necessary communication between the child and the book, and between the child and education itself. And so, the story was simple, needing no more than a hero dwarf, surpassing conferences, forums, and the best practices and experiences in curriculum writing and design.
