Nothing better than playing your favorite game on a beautiful day, surrounded by all the fruit trees. What could go wrong? In wartime, anything could. "Hazem Nassar talks about conflicts, emotions, and the importance of solidarity. His story reminds us of the reality of war and its consequences, but in a respectful way. From Amira's perspective, we get a general picture of an air strike, but no details that might be uncomfortable. Instead, the focus is on people who work together and seek to move forward after difficulties." "Author Hazem Nassar masterfully immerses the reader in the perspective of a young girl striving to discover moments of beauty and goodness in a world shattered by conflict. Although it's a children's picture book, the narrative sheds light on larger issues that still plague the world today."
