Made up of a hundred short fables, written in Arabic and showcasing 96 artworks, it began in 2012 when Almotham found his niche, initially using Twitter to share the stories in 140 and, later, 280 characters.
It was after posting 200 stories that Almotham got the idea of compiling them in a book. He selected 100, and decided on the title after the main character from one short fable.
With the help of artists through the "Fitrh Art platform", he was able to have a unique and distinct piece of art for most of his literary works. "Fitrh Art" is a platform that serves as a home to Arab artists interested in being part of a storytelling adventure. Once the book was complete, the author organised an online art exhibition in collaboration with the Fitrh Art platform, where they showcased the artwork with the stories as a description. Almotham is currently working on the English translation of the book and hopes to publish it soon.
