Editions de l'Association Alama, 2024, 88 pages
This book tells the story of Amal and Imad, two children living in Gaza. Through their eyes, we discover their daily lives: their family, their friends, their games, but also the great difficulties they face, such as the bombings, the lack of food and the destruction all around them. Amal and Imad also share memories of their past, the stories of their grandparents, and what words like justice and hope mean to them. Even in the hardest of times, they find reasons to hope and dream of a better world. This book helps us to better understand what the children of Gaza are going through, while showing their courage and incredible resilience.

Ce livre raconte l’histoire d’Amal et Imad, deux enfants qui vivent à Gaza. À travers leurs yeux, on découvre leur vie quotidienne : leur famille, leurs amis, leurs jeux, mais aussi les grandes difficultés qu’ils rencontrent, comme les bombardements, le manque de nourriture et les destructions autour d’eux. Amal et Imad partagent aussi des souvenirs de leur passé, les histoires de leurs grands-parents, et ce que signifient pour eux des mots comme justice et espoir. Même dans des moments très durs, ils trouvent des raisons d’espérer et de rêver d’un monde meilleur. Ce livre aide à mieux comprendre ce que vivent les enfants de Gaza, tout en montrant leur courage et leur incroyable résilience.

Dit boek vertelt het verhaal van Amal en Imad, twee kinderen die in Gaza wonen. Door hun ogen ontdekken we hun dagelijks leven: hun familie, hun vrienden, hun spelletjes, maar ook de grote moeilijkheden waarmee ze te maken krijgen, zoals bombardementen, het gebrek aan voedsel en de verwoesting om hen heen. Amal en Imad delen ook herinneringen aan hun verleden, de verhalen van hun grootouders en wat woorden als gerechtigheid en hoop voor hen betekenen. Zelfs in zeer moeilijke tijden vinden ze redenen om te hopen en te dromen van een betere wereld. Dit boek helpt beter te begrijpen wat de kinderen van Gaza meemaken, terwijl het ook hun moed en ongelooflijke veerkracht toont.
