Dear World: A Syrian Girl's Story of War and Plea for Peace by Bana Alabed

5.0

Her narration is simple. She told the stories based on her own observation. Her uncles never comes back, her best friend died, her school's buildings collapsed due to bombing, her father got taken away once and how the war robbed her own childhood. She was forced to grow up, to overcome the trauma and toughen up. There's a few sections in the book whereby Bana's mother would write something to tell the side of her story. How she wishes that Bana didnt have to go through any of this - witnessing the ugly side of humanity. A short book but has many tragic stories in it.
