pick⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🌟(4.5/5)
Beautifully written short stories. Emotional, relective reading. The title story was particularly good.
Book 4/7 for #fabulousfebruary
I'm going to try to finish #7in7. I'm 80% or so finished with 4 books, and 60% finished with another. 6 and 7 might be a little ambitious. But it would feel so good to finish them all! #20in4 #fabulousfebruary #cantstopwontstop
pickThis is Malek‘s story of using art to cope with the trauma of living in occupied Palestine during more than 50 days of bombing as part of Israel‘s “Operation Protective Edge”. It provides a good framework to discuss fear and loss with children, and also ways to cope through things like art. It breaks my heart to know so many more children are experiencing these same things and more right now, with no relief in sight.

I know I'm late, but wanted to post this from a book I started.
Of everything that disappeared, Kinder Eggs are what I missed most. When the walls closed in on Gaza and adult conversations became hotter and sadder, I measured the severity of our siege by the dwindling number of those chocolate eggs, wrapped in thin colorful foil, with splendid surprises incubating inside the eggs on store shelves.
