Jad, an energetic and curious boy, is playing on the beach near his home one day when he comes across an old man dressed in a military uniform. Old Ananias, a World War I veteran, shares his army stories with Jad, and the two become fast friends, spending many days together on the beach.

With the help of some surprising sources, Jad devises a plan to turn Old Ananias into a living legend.

The tale reveals how the young can learn valuable lessons from individuals who are full in both years and wisdom. But more importantly, Jad and Old Ananias shows that dreams can come true with a certain amount of love, effort, and determination.Howard-Douglas, Daisy is the author of 'Jad and Old Ananias' with ISBN 9780533130283 and ISBN 053313028X.
