Everyone around the world is restricted to staying in their own home, including young children living in the Middle East. However, there needed to be a wider variety of online content available. Reem Ali Adeeb, a Hollywood animation artist, decided to make the most of her free time by aiming to provide just that. Born in Syria and working at Warner Bros Entertainment in Los Angeles, she decided to use her animation and language skills to start a Youtube channel with her sister, Sandi. The Youtube channel, named “Susupereemo”, was created to provide exciting tutorials on activities such as making origami, drawing, or even reading childrens’ books in Arabic. Ali Adeeb uses classic cartoon characters such as Chickeraffe from Dr.Seuss’s Green Eggs and Ham to increase the children’s interest. "There's tons of content on the web in English for kids but there is not enough original content in Arabic, so the aim is to make their screen time interactive and inspiring by drawing with them, reading them a story or doing crafts." said The LA-based animator. Her sister took part in the channel by reading childrens’ books. By creating such a channel, Sandi and Reem Ali Adeeb used their free time to help entertain those in quarantine.
