Readers Say

“A book that creates dialogue and conversation at home that wouldn’t often happen by itself, about fear, compassion and hope. Liyah teaches gently that peace begins from within. It's also, as a bonus, great practice in English… “

Liyah rises and takes action, and in her search for peace she discovers generosity, compassion, deep inner reflection and faith.
