A book is so much more than printed words
A book is both a product and a process.
It holds immense power.
The product:
Amongst other things, book is :
- A tool for change: It ignites revolutions of thought, and sparks innovation.
- A bridge for building connections: It connects individuals, cultures, and generations.
- An empathy amplifier:Through characters and narratives, books cultivate compassion, helping us see the world through diverse lenses.
The process:
For authors, crafting a book is a transformative journey. It is a process of self-discovery, resilience, and growth. Through the act of creation, authors not only shape narratives but also reshape themselves, discovering new depths of imagination, courage, and creativity.
Our project Story Lines: Abu Dhabi Senior Spotlight is one such project.
With the support of the lovely team at Maāan Abu Dhabi, we have been working. with volunteers and senior citizens in Abu Dhabi to address the social issues faced by the elderly and challenge age-ist stereotypes in society.
We donāt know what the final product will look like yet, but through the process of building this book, we have undertaken a beautiful journey of building deep connections with people who would never have have crossed paths with.
Interacting with seniors of diverse personalities ā from the jovial storytellers to the insightful observers ā provided invaluable insights.
We have stories from business leaders, climate strategists, falcon-fliers and pearl divers.
Their narratives have challenged our biases and broadened our perspective on life.
Here is snapshot of our last book-building workshop at the foodshed restaurant at Abu Dhabi Cultural Centre
A shout out to some of our amazing volunteers and of course the young seniors as well!

@flavors_of_imane , Imane Alaoui, is on a mission to simplify and reinvent Moroccan dishes, making them more accessible and appealing to a broader audience with her debut bilingual cook-book:
āFlavours of Morocco transcendedā
Born in the vibrant city of Rabat, Morocco, she spent the first 23 years of her life immersed in the rich Moroccan culture and its cuisine. Her journey then took her to France, where she discovered her passion for reinventing cuisines and merging diverse flavors.
Then every thing came together right here in Dubai, where the diverse culinary scene of the UAE has been an endless source of inspiration .
The book is a delight to the senses with its rich colours, vibrant photographs and attention to detail. It takes you to the bustling markets of Morocco, the scent of spices and the warmth of its people. French culinary creativity and the diversity of Dubai come together on the beautiful pages.
Remaining deeply respectful of tradition,
Imane combines authenticity and creativity to give us this scrumptious delight of a book.
As Uhibbook, we love showcasing the rich talent of this region to the world. The UAE is unique in its diversity and multiculturalism.
This book is one more step in our mission to create beautifully crafted books that further the cause of amplifying diversity and creating social impact.
Thank you @ladyleadmagazine and @theretreatpalmdubai for this beautiful event. It was very inspiring to meet some incredible women @bushra.nsr @naouel_chaoui
