Nizar and the Marbles of Courage

A timeless story of family, faith, and courage

Beschreibung

In the quiet village of Ras al-Matn, where olive groves stretch across the hills and laughter echoes through the square, young Nizar faces a challenge far greater than any game of marbles. After the loss of his father, Nizar clings to a single treasure-a smooth blue marble that carries the weight of his Baba's wisdom and love. When doubts and fears threaten to hold him back, Nizar steps into the village square to test his courage. With trembling hands and a determined heart, he faces not only the sharp-tongued Tarek, the village's marble champion, but also the whispers of self-doubt. Guided by the lessons of his Baba and the gentle wisdom of Sheikh Amin, Nizar learns that true courage is more than winning-it's about standing tall in the face of fear, protecting others, and staying true to what is right. As the games unfold, Nizar discovers that strength isn't measured by victories but by the faith we place in ourselves and the kindness we share with others. Can one small marble-and one brave boy-make a difference? A timeless tale of faith, family, and courage, Nizar and the Marbles of Courage is a heartwarming story about overcoming fear, embracing responsibility, and finding the courage to stand for what matters most. For readers young and old, this inspiring story reminds us that even the smallest hands can shape a better world.
