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

emotional hopeful informative inspiring fast-paced

4.0

This was an emotional but inspiring read. Banna, at the age of seven years old was able to not only express herself, but rally people around a cause. The story of the Syrian war told through her eyes was more powerful than anything I could ever imagine. I loved how she was able to weave her everyday childhood hopes, dreams, and wishes into such a terrifying ordeal. I also loved that her mother inputted pages of her journal through certain sections giving the adult perspective on certain serious moments. This memoir made really want to learn more about this country and all they have been through. I highly recommend, it's a quick read filled with home photos. Be prepared to cry!
