Sara Peperomia
In "Sarah the Peperomia", Amal Farah takes us on a wonderful journey to discover the acceptance of the different other. Through a clever technique for observing the contrasts and similarities between us and every living being, we explore the world of "special needs" with lightness and awareness. The story follows the life of a family awaiting their baby Sarah, pausing at every small creature around them—from plants that need special light, to a grandmother who needs quiet—until the day the child with special needs is born, and the question is posed: How does the family welcome this different one?

Drawing "The Tree of Diversity"
