Simon Norton’s
“Marzooq: A Folk Tale from Egypt”
Note: Parental discretion advised.
In broad cartoon style, this tale of a poor cobbler and

of things is a key to a successful life. Comments

Note:Parental discretion advised.
A traffic jam on Fathers’ Day, a gang of scruffy
safe crackers in a stolen vehicle and a lesbian couple
