Mama Halima wants to prepare a delicious meal; Uncle Jaber goes in his boat at night to fish for her, but the storm blows, and something strange happens.. something very strange happens.
Long Description
Mama Halima wants to cook fish, and no one is better than Uncle Jaber at fishing. We accompany Uncle Jaber on his daily fishing trip and listen to a beautiful rhyme narration of the events in his day, from waking up in the morning until his return in the evening with a bountiful catch. The story highlights the fishing profession in a simple way, and the illustrations express it in a creative artistic way. A funny story suitable for early childhood.
