THE STORY OF HURRY
Ibrahim Quraishi Emma Williams
The Story of Hurry tells of a donkey who witnesses the sadness and suffering
and fear of children in the occupied Gaza Strip and helps them the only way
he can: by turning into a zebra with the help of a zoo man, his best friend, and
some paint, so that these children can taste the freedom of traveling in their
imaginations to far-off places. Based on true events as told by Emma Williams together with wry and playful illustrations by Ibrahim Quraishi, the story gives us the clairvoyance of children to see the world in which we live in all its true wonder and pathos.
Not since Munro Leaf's bestselling The Story of Ferdinand - a simple antiwar
tale about animals that was first published 80 years ago - has there been such a gentle, compelling book about animals and war. In Hurry, author Emma Williams and Ibrahim Quraishi have created a book for today that is as provocative - and as soothing - as Ferdinand continues to be.
