The Adventures of Laila and Ahmed in Syria

The Adventures of Laila and Ahmed in Syria is the first book in an upcoming children’s series focused on countries we tend to associate with conflict. This book is the tale of two curious children who find themselves exploring the beautiful landscapes and landmarks of pre-war Syria. Although it is about Syria, this book isn’t a story of war or violence. If anything, it s a love story dedicated to Syria, written and illustrated to pay tribute to the heritage and humanity that is so often missing from the popular narrative about conflict-stricken countries.
