Creativity and Perseverance to Make a Difference and Overcome Frustration

Noura leaves nothing to chance, always planning her days and dreams. Her biggest dream is to become a famous LEGO engineer, designing and building wonderful models from bricks. Her trip to Legoland and her participation with her friends in the "City of the Future" LEGO building competition were her first steps towards realizing her dreams. But everything Noura had planned was turned upside down. The coronavirus pandemic swept the world, and all her plans for the year evaporated due to quarantine rules that closed schools, canceled trips and competitions, and forced her to stay home to face the antics of her younger brother Omar. It also imposed social distancing between her and her friends. However, Noura's love for the small bricks, rich with endless possibilities of shapes and ideas, helped her overcome feelings of sadness and frustration. Noura discovered new meanings for family, friendship, and cooperation, and that despite the circumstances and obstacles, she could continue to work and keep dreaming.
