The world of books is wonderful, Nour thought, looking at the piles of books around her.
Like a galaxy full of stars. Some are shinier than others, but together they make the sky sparkle.
When their Syrian city is plagued with bombings, young Nour and her cousin Amir create a secret underground library, finding hope and escape for the people in their community within its walls. Based on the author's life and inspired by true events, Nour's Secret Library reveals the power of books to heal, transport, and create safe havens in difficult times.
- Highlights the resilience of children and the comfort of stories
- Inspired by real events and personal experience
- Perfect for young readers learning about empathy and courage
