In the shadows of genocide, the power of children's literature and stories emerges vividly in Gaza. These tales, whether oral or written, become a medium for children to escape, understand, and process their realities. They narrate experiences of war, loss, and hope, often with underlying themes of resilience and courage. Such stories, whether local folklore or contemporary narratives, serve as both a mirror and a window for young readers – reflecting their experiences and offering glimpses into different worlds. In these pages and words, children find characters who share their struggles, triumphs, and dreams, providing comfort and a sense of shared humanity amidst the turmoil of war.
