Anzeh Azeeza Cleans up Petra Arabic Book

Anzeh al-Azeeza Cleans Up Petra, is written, self-published and self-distributed by Karen with sponsored printing by Nadine Toukan. Karen tells the story of Azeeza the anzeh and her family who live “rent-free” in Petra and roam the ancient “forgotten city.” The morale of the tale fits in with the aim of preserving Petra, whether by local visitors or tourists, for after Azeeza eats trash littered at the site and getting into trouble with her mother, she and “her family have a new job to do: instead of eating trash, they will clean it up with you!” Anzeh al-Azeeza Cleans Up Petra is an important message to children, yet told in a simple and amusing way. It could be a template for various other adventures Azeeza could embark on, and not only in Jordan.
