Book Overview
Simon is nine years old.
He loved school, playing ball in the garden, listening to his mother sing songs to him.
Then one day, everything exploded.
In a country ravaged by war, Simon loses his parents, his home, his childhood.
Through his simple and profound words, he tells us what he sees, what he feels, what he hopes.
From the crash of bombs to the silence of sleepless nights, from camp tents to the loss of a friend, he nevertheless continues to believe... to dream... to hope.
A moving novel, seen from a child's perspective, where innocence resists violence, where love survives pain, and where, despite everything, hope never dies.
This book is a cry, a song, a letter to the world.
That of a child who only asks for one thing: to live
