Summary:
When seven-year-old Bana Alabed took to Twitter to describe the horrors she and her family were experiencing in war-torn Syria, her heartrending messages touched the
world
and gave a voice to millions of innocent children. Bana'
s
happy childhood was abruptly upended by civil
war
when she was only three years old. Over the next four years, she knew nothing but bombing, destruction, and fear. Her harrowing ordeal culminated in a brutal siege where she, her parents, and two younger brothers were trapped in Aleppo, with little access to food, water, medicine, or other necessities. Facing death as bombs relentlessly fell around them - one of which completely destroyed their home -- Bana and her family embarked on a perilous escape to Turkey. In Bana'
s
own words and in short, affecting chapters by her mother, Fatemah, who is an English teacher and who manages Bana'
s
Twitter account. This is not just a gripping account of a family endangered by
war
; it offers a uniquely intimate, child'
s
perspective on one of the biggest humanitarian crises in history. Bana has lost her best friend, her school, her home, and her homeland. But she has not lost her hope -- for herself and for other children around the
world
who are victims and refugees of
war
and deserve better lives. In December 2016, Bana and her family were safely evacuated from Aleppo to Turkey.
