Changes

I love it when writers for children engage with the kinds of devastating events we see on the news, particularly when they offer hope and even more particularly when they offer a compassionate perspective. It inspires debate and it makes children feel as though they can influence the future and make it better. And nowhere is in more need of a better future than the Middle East. Other books you could look at include [[A Child's Garden: A Story Of Hope by Michael Foreman]] for the very youngest readers, [[A Girl Made of Dust by Nathalie Abi-Ezzi]] for middle readers, and [[Message in a Bottle by Valerie Zenatti]] for older readers. We can also recommend [[The Secret Keepers by Trenton Lee Stewart]].
