Where are you Saadoun? Parent and Teacher Guide
The story focuses on the feeling of loss and confusion that Simsim experiences when he doesn’t know where his friend Saadoun goes when he disappears, and whether he will return. This is something many young children feel when their parents leave for work.
Every morning when Simsim wakes up, he rushes to get the ball to play with Saadoun, but he can’t find him. He searches everywhere, under the bed, under the pillow, and in the toy basket. When he can’t find him, he becomes very sad and cries. Saadoun’s mother tries to feed and play with him, but he refuses to eat or play and waits for Saadoun to return. Finally, Simsim hears the sound of Saadoun’s footsteps on the stairs, and as soon as he enters the house and calls for him, Simsim jumps around him and barks with joy at his return.

If you were to get a pet, what would you choose, and why?
What is the reason for our loved ones’ absence sometimes (Mom, Dad…)? Do you think Saadoun’s absence was justified or not? Were Simsim’s concerns valid?
