Ḥāzūqat rawān: Arabic 2012

Rawan has a bad hiccup that just won’t stop. Her mother tries all the tricks she knows to try and help stop it but nothing seems to work. She gets her sweetened water, an ice cube to suck on, she asks her to hold her breath but all suggestions fail. Her brother Bassem and his friend Fahd decide to hide and scare Rawan in order to get rid of the stubborn hiccup. They manage to scare Rawan and she screams in fear but the boys panic and end up bumping their heads into one another and cracking Rawan up. Rawan’s Hiccup is a light and fun read about a humorous hiccup that wouldn’t go away until a dramatic scene happens.
