A review by erine
Nour's Secret Library by Wafa' Tarnowska, Vali Mintzi

4.0

This text-heavy picture book describes the coming war in Syria, the long nights in basement shelters, the speedy elimination of everyday activities like school and shopping and play. And then the slow sprouting of hope in the form of a secret library, books collected from wreckage around the city.

Detailed backmatter offers context and additional information.
