A regular trip to school to get textbooks turned out to be a most memorable day for an eight-year-old in the UAE.
Izin Hash, who is currently studying in Grade 3, had gone to school with his father to pick up the books — when he discovered himself on the front cover of the UAE Social Studies text book for Grades 1 to 3.

“It was a moment of surprise for me,” the youngster said.
“He was jumping for joy as he held the text book," Izin’s father, Hash Jawad, told Khaleej Times. "It was actually a surprising moment for all of us. We had forgotten about the picture — but now, we are reminiscing the moment.”
