Abu Karkouba is a man who loves to complain and finds an excuse for everything: his junk, or "karkouba." If he is late, messy, or forgets something, it's always his karkouba's fault. Written by Nabiha Mheidly with charming illustrations by Walid Taher, this story humorously tackles the habit of making excuses. It gently guides young readers to understand the importance of taking personal responsibility for their actions instead of blaming their circumstances or belongings. This is a valuable lesson about accountability, cleverly wrapped in an entertaining and relatable narrative for children.
