Description
Translated as ‘movement is a blessing’, Haraka Baraka is an introductory book to Arabic, highlighting the importance of play in our lives. It features a series of original type-led illustrations, which visually interpret the meaning behind particular phrases, idioms and slang words. The cover features the letters ‘H’ and ‘B’, with the Arabic words for ‘Haraka Baraka’ integrated into the crossbars, while on the inside, it keeps the responses to the Q&A in the same place, neutralising the reading direction to embracing a spirit of exchange, play and connection.
