I was not prepared for what I read. The reality of what is happening to CHILDREN is heartbreaking and almost unbearable. I hope their messages reach everyone and brings about the change that they desperately need.

I cried my eyes out. We should pass this book around so everyone gets a chance to read the words from these children in Gaza.

Today has been especially hard, watching the news and feeling so helpless. Almost 10 months. Grateful for this timely read. Highly recommend, along with tissues.  

Heartbreaking. Poignant. Important. A book of poems, testimonies and illustrations, focused on children, for the children. 

Say their names. End the illegal Israeli occupation. Humanise the Palestinian people. End this genocide. 

My heart aches every day, and it never ends. The world is upside down. The children of Gaza deserve so much more than this cruel world can offer. The deserve the best.

Thank you, Leila and Asaf. I will treasure this book forever. I'm so glad to have contributed a little something as all proceeds from sales of this beautiful book go directly to the Palestinian Humanitarian Response Centre. As of June 2024, €4,000 have been donated from the sale of 1,100 books. 🍉🖤❤️🤍💚
