Forever, Noura
Noura and the boy who narrates the story have been friends since they were little. They live in neighboring houses, walk to school together every day, and protect themselves from the harsh reality of war. Between bombings and deaths, the children's friendship grows stronger and stronger, and will last for years, even as the horrors of war separate them. An important reality to show our children through a direct story and realistic and emotional illustrations.
For parents and teachers:
There are parts of reality that, as much as we want to avoid, are inescapable. Although armed conflicts seem distant for most people, the truth is that war is real and pain is too. That is why it is important teaching values such as empathy, solidarity, peace and tolerance. In this book, we will find a simple but endearing friendship story that is violently truncated by the ravages of war, where children love each other, take care of each other and remember each other for a lifetime.
