I connected with this book because of the determination exhibited by the young protagonist, Marwan.

His journey is one that would challenge any adult. Arias’ text is powerful and the illustrations by Laura Borras are so compelling, you feel you’re walking along with Marwan. I also appreciate that it’s the words of Marwan’s mother that motivate him each step.

From Alda's list on kids in war.
