The actress, famous for her roles in Netflix series 'The Sandman' and 'Paranormal,' took to social media on Sunday to share the news, writing: 'What started as a little story I wrote seven years ago turned into a book for your little ones. I've poured my (heart) into this and I'm thrilled to invite you all to our first launch in Beirut.'
The launch event is scheduled to take place on June 25 at community space Minus 1 in the Lebanese capital. The actress will perform a reading of the children's story, which tells the tale of a 'vegetarian lioness, a friendly fish and their most unusual friendship,' according to the author.
Published by Turning Point Books, the story was illustrated by Sasha Haddad, a Lebanese illustrator who graduated from Cambridge School of Arts in 2014.
In the role that arguably shot her to stardom, Jammal played Lyta Hall in 2022's 'The Sandman,' based on the legendary graphic novels.
Her character dreams of her dead husband each night, slowly realizing that he is not a figment of her imagination but is hiding out in the dream world.
It is a part that Jammal managed to play truthfully with subtlety — a subtlety for which she credited her mother in a previous interview with Arab News.
'I've always been extra, and my mom was far more subtle than I am. I had to fine-tune myself to vibrate on her frequency, a frequency that was very sweet and very raw, and vulnerable and nurturing. I took that from her.
'I grew up having a simple, community-based life in a place where you have 500 mothers and everyone feeds you and you feel safe — even if it's not safe at all. At the same time we went through so many traumas, from civil wars to assassinations to losing all our money in another financial crisis.'

Deaf artist breaks barriers with solo debut in Jeddah
JEDDAH: 'It's never too late to follow your dream,' says Elham Abu Talib, who has held her first solo exhibition in Jeddah after 38 years. The Saudi artist is no stranger to the local art scene, having taken part in exhibitions across the Kingdom and overcome the barriers accompanying being severely deaf. And at the Saudi Arabian Society of Culture and Arts in Jeddah on Sunday, Abu Talib showcased more than 40 paintings to leading artists and lovers of the genre. Titled 'Inspiration,' the exhibition marked a milestone, presenting her work to the public while highlighting her artistic journey amid years of persistence. Abu Talib hopes to represent the Kingdom in international competitions. She also hopes the arts society will continue supporting disabled and female artists by providing platforms for their creativity. Her passion began in childhood, when natural talent blossomed into fine art shaped by a beautiful dream. She lost her hearing as a child and faced speech difficulties, but met her challenges with patience, courage, and ambition. Determined to express herself, she used a brush and colors as her voice — turning her childhood dreams into vivid reality. She shared that hearing loss kept her from entering university, but her late father convinced her it did not mean giving up her ambitions. Inspired by his words, she began participating in exhibitions while raising her children and fulfilling her duties as a mother. She believes her disability has sharpened her visual perception — a gift she channels into her art. 'I'm so happy that, after 38 years, my dream has come true with this solo exhibition,' she said. 'I thank the Saudi Arabian Society of Culture and Arts in Jeddah for giving me this opportunity.' Abu Talib hopes to represent the Kingdom in international competitions. She also hopes the arts society will continue supporting disabled and female artists by providing platforms for their creativity. Maha Abdulhalim Radwi, secretary-general of the Radwi Art Prize, said the artist had finally achieved a major milestone, adding: 'This event allowed her to showcase her unique perspective and creative talent to a wider audience, proving that art transcends communication barriers.' Mohammed Al-Subaih, the director general of the SASCA, said Abu Talib had dreamed of a solo exhibition for nearly four decades — and was now finally living that dream. He added: 'She's participated with us in many workshops and group exhibitions; now it's time to celebrate her first solo show. 'She deserves all the support and encouragement.'

Mideast content creators unveil bold short films in collaboration with YouTube
DUBAI: Some of the region's most celebrated content creators — including Bahrain's Omar Farooq, the UAE's Anas Bukhash, Morocco's Taha Essou, Palestine's Haifa Beseisso and Egypt's Sherif Nabil — have premiered powerful short films in collaboration with YouTube to mark the platform's 20th anniversary. For the latest updates, follow us on Instagram @ 'For years, creating and distributing entertainment was limited to major studios. Today, we're at an inflection point — YouTube creators are the entertainment industry's new startups,' said Tarek Amin, YouTube's regional director for the Middle East, Africa and Turkiye, during the premiere in Dubai this weekend. These creators, who amass billions of views across their channels, showcased deeply personal stories that transcend borders and languages, highlighting YouTube's role as a platform for emotional storytelling and global connection. The shift reflects a wider trend across the region with YouTube creators across the Middle East and North Africa rapidly becoming entertainment startups. Companies such as Telfaz11, which has offices in Saudi Arabia and the UAE, have scaled from popular YouTube series to successful feature films. Bukhash's signature charm and curiosity is reflected in his film 'ABtalks Diaries: Korea Edition.' The work follows him on a journey through South Korea where he interviews chefs, artists, and members of the public. Despite a glaring language barrier, Bukhash draws out surprisingly intimate moments, proving that vulnerability is a universal language. 'We did this because we realized Arabs are obsessed with K-Pop,' Bukhash joked on stage. In 'Into the Dark,' Beseisso documents her four-day stay in a darkness retreat. Blending humor and reflection, her film becomes a deeply personal meditation on silence, emotion and reconnection — with herself and others. 'I heard about the darkness retreat from a friend and was intrigued,' she told Arab News. 'I went, closed my eyes for three days, and it turned out to be one of my favorite experiences.' In 'Into the Fire: Mount Ijen,' Nabil documents the harsh realities of sulfur miners working in Indonesia's active volcanic mountain. He exposes the conditions these workers face and the generational impact of their labor. 'YouTube gives you that intimacy,' Nabil said. 'It's a challenge, but it's rewarding.' The connection between these filmmakers lies in their ability to confront discomfort, explore untold stories, and share them with candor. 'This event is not for us,' Bukhash reflected. 'It's for the people at home wondering if they should start, and need that extra push.'
