Camela The Camel Without a Hump

Camela's inspirational story will remind young children that it is alright to be different, and that confidence in who you are, makes all the difference in belonging.

Camela, a young camel who lives in the desert city of Dubai, struggles as other camels laugh at her for not having a hump. Confused and hurt by the other camels teasing, she wonders if she'll ever fit in. She builds hope and confidence through a camel fairy, who teaches her the importance of what's inside that matters, rather than appearances. Her journey makes her realize she can be happy and make friends based on who she is. Then before she knows it, her hump finally appears. Yet, when it does, it does not matter as Camela is already confident in her own skin.

The author, Amina Pasha lived in numerous countries growing up and learned quickly the importance of belonging and making friends. She originally wrote this story when she was seven, so it is truly based on a child's perspective, but published now to inspire children aged 3 to 7 worldwide.
