Sitti's Bird: A Gaza Story

From the back cover:

"Malak is a young girl who lives in Gaza with her parents. She goes to school, plays in the ocean, and visits Sitti's house on Fridays. One day while she is in school, explosions begin. She spends the next 50 days at home with her parents worrying and feeling scared, until one day she picks up her paintbrush...

Sitti's Bird: A Gaza Story is a unique children's picture book, written and illustrated by Palestinian artist, Malak Mattar. Reflecting her experiences of childhood in occupied Palestine, Malak's story brings warmth and wonder to children as it tells of her rebirth as an artist during the 2014 airstrikes in Gaza. It is the story if a young girl whose love for her family and discovery of art help her channel her fears and overcome traumas that few of us can imagine - traumas shared by countless children in Gaza and around the world."
