Hussain Al-Moutawaa: I Would Love to Be a Concrete Mixer

Haddam is a little wrecker growing up in a loving family. His parents go to work every day demolishing buildings with their big wrecking balls. But there's a problem: when Haddam laughs or cries, his wrecking ball swings and destroys everything around him. His gentle heart cannot beat a beat without leaving a trail of destruction in its wake. Soft-hearted Haddam doesn't always want to destroy. He would much rather build things. He dreams of being a cement mixer.
