Originally published as أنا وماه, Mah and Me offers a sensitive and often touching look at a young child's first real loss: the death of a grandparent. I really appreciated the way Azzan's grieving process was spread out over the year, and that he was continuing to ask questions and to speak of Mah with his mother, long after the fact. This is a more realistic reflection of loss, I think, than what I sometimes see in such books, as most people continue to think of their loved one, and to have questions and concerns, far past the 'official' mourning period. The accompanying artwork here looks like it was done (at least partially) in watercolor, and is well-suited to the story. This is my first children's book from an Omani creator - according to her website, Al-Harthi grew up in Muscat, but has fond ties to her ancestral village in the Al Sharqiya region of Oman - but I hope it will not be my last. The author appears to have written one other, which has not yet been translated, and to have illustrated a few other authors' books. I will see what I can track down. Recommended to readers looking for children's stories about death, grieving and healing, and to anyone seeking children's books set in Oman. ( )
