Publisher Description
In this testimonial essay, the author introduces some of the children he has encountered while covering events in the Arab World for over twenty-seven years. It is a personal account with illustrations from Palestine, Algeria, Iraq, and Egypt. Looking beyond stereotypical images, and behind the scenes, the author creates a dialogue of text and photographs on the role and insights children have on current events he has witnessed. For the photographer, capturing images of children's daily life often provided a larger context for a story he was conveying. Photos and their narratives are shared as personal mementoes from his extended "family" album. **********
