In the rolling dunes of a UAE date farm, something extraordinary is growing…the biggest, juiciest date hanging from the tallest palm tree!
How to get it down?
A UAE family enlists a parade of friends, including a majestic falcon, a noble camel, a graceful oryx, a speedy saluki, a desert hare, a slithery sand boa and a nimble jerboa. Can this unlikely team work together to get The Great Date?
A heartwarming and humorous retelling of a beloved folk tale, 'The Great Date' celebrates family, teamwork, and the magic of the desert.

Lindsay Rosenzweig
Can Omar save the day when a sandstorm hits his school?
Omar is taller and looks older than his peers which means he sometimes gets left out as he’s caused a few hilarious mishaps in the classroom and the playground involving a giant sneeze, the school’s pet turtle and a seesaw!
But when a sandstorm hits his school and teacher Ms. Rose gets into a bit of a fix, there’s only one person in the classroom who can come to the rescue!
Lindsay was born and raised in "The Windy City" of Chicago and has been an educator in the UAE for 10+ years. Her charming children's book 'Sandstorm' was created as a result of her pupils' inquisitiveness about this weather phenomenon!
