A little boy wakes up to the call of ‘red sweet red’ from the morning vendor selling fruit. His curiosity increases daily as he unsuccessfully tries to catch the vendor and discover the red sweet fruit he has on his cart. He plays a game with his mother to try and guess what the vendor might be referring to. Perhaps it is watermelon, strawberries or grapes. Set in the heart of a traditional Levantine street, Red and Sweet introduces a playful venture to guess the fruit with the narrator and understand the different colloquial expressions used by Arab vendors.
