If two children from both sides of a conflict could write to each other, what would they say? This hard-hitting but heart-warming book tells of war and conflict in Sudan over a period of time through the eyes of two fictional children who are corresponding by letter, as pen pals. Manute is an African Sudanese child living in a refugee camp; the other child, Sittina, is Arabic Sudanese and from a wealthy, educated family. Discover the lives of ordinary people in a war-torn country and how conflict affects their daily lives.
