al-Bint al-ṣaghīrah allatī: Arabic 2011

A little girl with a big heart grows into a young lady who constantly loves to give everything and please everyone around her. As a little girl she gives her flute to a shepherd, her scarf to a friend who was feeling cold, her ball to a bored dog and her green hat to a bald man to protect his head from the sun. As a young lady, she works in the bakery with her father to make him happy, marries a man her mom chooses to please her and works with her husband on the farm daily to help him out. She spends most of her life making people happier and putting them as a priority. She suddenly realises that she has never thought about herself and her needs and decides to change that. The Little Girl Who…focuses on sharing and being generous within boundaries which help in preserving self-esteem and attending to one’s own needs.
