Anne Alvarez enjoyed writing this book. She hopes young children will enjoy reading it. The idea sparked due to her ambition and knowledge of faraway places. She has found inspiration to motivate others and deliver her feelings to them. You can see how much heart and soul she has put into this book. It is amazingly interesting, after having left the faraway places where you have lived and are familiar with, to note that the ancient civilisation of Iraq - its culture, architecture, music and cuisine - still exist in the progressive way of modern Iraqi life. Intentionally, the book is written for families and professionals alike to read to the infants about ancient places like Baghdad and its civilisation long ago, both in terms of place and time.
