The book, which was written by award-winning filmmaker, musician, writer and professor, Dr. Franziska Apprich, Dean of the Canadian University Dubai, in collaboration with Dr. Kathy O'Sullivan, an award-winning academic, jewellery and fashion designer and interior decorator, encourages young minds to think, love and relate to life as they grow up.
