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 between Israelis and Palestinians in the Middle East through the eyes of two fictional children who are corresponding by letter, as pen pals. One child, Jacob, is an Israeli; the other child, Salma, is Palestinian. Discover the lives of ordinary people in a war-torn country and how conflict affects their daily lives.
