A Dorse Named Sid

A Dorse Named Sid is a fanciful story portrayed through short rhyming verses, which are both thought-provoking and will ignite the readers imagination. It is a fun book to read and shares a valuable lesson for children: the age-old moral of not judging a book by its cover.

The characters are a mix of human and mythical to help explain the moral in an easy to understand manner. A Dorse Named Sid will help children challenge stereotypes and generalisations. The book teaches children that they should decide who their friends are based on how they make them feel, and how they treat them, rather than on how they look, or what they have been told to be true (by others) about them.

A Practice

A Practice tells the stories of twelve school children, each working one-on-one with a tutor to resolve their learning problem.

The 'tutor', a psychologist trained at Bank Street College of Education in The Clinical Teaching Model (by Selma Sapir), describes the trials and triumphs of therapeutic tutoring.

The progression of the tutor over twenty plus years parallels the growing attention to learning disabilities in the 1980s and ’90s. New theories and teaching methods inspired the different approach this tutor took in remedial tutoring.  

Eventually she brought her approach to Horace Mann Middle School, where it became the foundation of their program for learning disabled children.

The poems unveil the strange mysteries of the universe through simple words, sentences, and sometimes shapes, often exploring existential thoughts, dreamland experiences, and varied perspectives on pain, unfairness, and frustration. Yet, one theme connects these diverse poems: hope.

It is the art of how 60 seconds can still transform a business and society.”

Muna AbuSulayman, International development expert and a prominent media personality

“We are in an industry that lost its way. An industry that is exchanging the power of affecting culture, for short-term profits. Ahmad, in his book, reminds us of the intellectual prowess the ad industry once enjoyed. In the process, he’s debating the most intellectual human alive!”

George Maktabi, Group CEO, Webedia Arabia

“At a time when the advertising industry is questioning its own meaning, role, and purpose, “Adman” calls for authentic, constructive self-reflection instead of fruitless navel-gazing. In simple, personal yet powerful terms, Ahmad Abu Zannad takes a stand, deconstructing clichés and confronting harsh truths to proudly reclaim advertising’s unique place in the world.”

Nathalie Bontems, Former GM and head of editorial publishing, MediaQuest

“Yes, the average person is being exposed to 6,000–10,000 ads per day… Now, imagine living in world full of ads made by individuals with less talent and less integrity, well, this is where the industry is heading, unless the advice in this book is pursued … What an insightful read and what an inspiring effort!”
