Sheikh Zayed Award for Children’s Lit to Manga-Inspired /Gold Ring/

The winner of the Sheikh Zayed Award for Children’s Literature was announced (yesterday?). It’s the “Arabic-manga” series Gold Ring.

I can’t quite tell what it’s about from this or this, or whether it’s fun for children or well-crafted, but it does (for better or worse) seem to have “subtle, but inspirational life lessons.”

The cover does look fun, though.
