And so I came to meet the Bouras Family, a Berber family, who welcomed me into their home as part of their family. I also use a lot of deep blue … a colour I strongly associate with both Sydney and Morocco as it reflects the beautiful deep blue of their skies.At the book's conclusion, the family in Sydney can be seen enjoying their new purchase together while the Moroccan family are surfing the internet.

What links two families, one living in Sydney, Australia, the other in a village in southern Morocco?When you open the book one side is (the left) opens like an English book and contains a day in the life of an Australian, while the right opens like an Arabic book and contains a day in the life of a Moroccon.
