Dubai Future Foundation (DFF) has announced the launch of a new, first-of-its-kind children's book titled "Hind and Mohammad's Journey to the Future", which aims to inspire a new generation of leaders and equip them with the necessary knowledge about the future.

More than 300,000 paperback copies of the book, which are available in both Arabic and English, will be distributed to children aged between six and 14-years-old in public and private schools across the UAE in a collaboration between DFF, the Knowledge and Human Development Authority (KHDA), and the Emirates Schools Establishment (ESE).

The first a series of future-focused comic books, the book narrates the story of Hind and Mohammad, who are assigned to speak in front of their classmates about their dreams even though they still do not know what they want to become when they grow up. With this challenge, their journey begins to discover the future, their dreams, and how they can be part of shaping a better future for humanity.

The interactive book also aims to unleash children's abilities by introducing them to valuable life skills, concepts, and tools that will aid their development journey and future-proof them for tomorrow's potential challenges and changes.

Abdulaziz AlJaziri, Deputy CEO and Chief Operations Officer of the Dubai Future Foundation, said

"The next generation is the most important and most affected stakeholders when talking about our future, and we believe young people hold the key to shaping a better future for all of humanity,"

"As well as being a critical tool to improve reading, cognitive skills, and communication, the story of Hind and Mohammad aims to give children the valuable life skills in critical thinking and help children to imagine a better future. Illustrative children's literature is a creative approach that helps invite children to look past the present and give them the imagination to envision - and achieve - a better tomorrow," he added.

In addition to the 20-page story that was authored by DFF's team and drawn by the talented Emirati designer, Khawla Al Muheiri, children will also be able to write a future letter to themselves and enjoy the dedicated colouring pages and stickers.
