På bjerget oppe over Hassans landsby bor der en ghoul som alle er bange for. De voksne siger at ghoulen er både farlig og styg, og at han tilmed æder børn! I flere år har alle i landsbyen listet omkring på tæerne for ikke at forstyrre ham, men nu er Hassan træt af at være bange, så den næste dag vil han klatre op til ghoulen.

A story about facing your fears and accepting differences, inspired by Arabic folk tales. The villagers are afraid of the "Ghoul." For years, they've tiptoed around the village for fear of disturbing it. The monster doesn't look like them, and it is believed to eat humans. One day, the brave Hassan embarks on a dangerous mission to face the long-feared Ghoul. When Hassan finally meets the Ghoul living on top of the mountain, he discovers that the Ghoul is just as terrified of people as they are of him. Hassan and the Ghoul realize that they can still be friends, despite their differences. A beautifully illustrated story that can be used as a springboard to discuss how we perceive those who are different and how our fears and prejudices may be built on false assumptions.
