Point of View (وجهة نظر) is a playful picture book that explores perspective through the adventures of three little bugs: a beetle, a Picasso bug, and a ladybug. Depending on who is watching, they may be seen as pests, sources of inspiration, or even heroes. From a home garden to an Egyptian art museum, from lettuce fields to Picasso’s art studio and beyond, the story gently shows that value and beauty are not fixed. They depend on how we choose to look at the world.

The illustrations invite close observation and curiosity, using expressive compositions and layered details. Some spreads open to reveal surprises and let the action continue, adding play, movement, and excitement to the way the story unfolds.
