Sami and the Time of the Troubles by Florence Parry Heide, Judith Heide Gilliland

kristenremenar's review against another edition

4.0

Sami and his family live in an unnamed war-torn country. He and his little sister, his mother and uncle and grandfather, huddle in the basement around the radio, waiting for the bombing to stop. Beautiful book to show how war affects the lives of children, told from the point of view of a boy who realizes that peace will come again one day, and he may be one of the ones who has to march for peace. Really lovely, with Lewin's beautiful art.
