This Afghan girl doesn’t stop dreaming and her dreams fly towards all the regions, entering homes, families and hearts.

Gold Medal at the 2012 Moonbeam Children’s Book Awards. With lyrical, stirring text and stunning, evocative artwork,The Sky of Afghanistan, offers a moving ode to dreamers, to peace, and to finding hope for ending war once and for all.

In a country ravaged by war, a girl looks up at the sky, closes her eyes and her imagination begins to soar, far away from hatred, from sadness. She flies up high, high above into the sky, until she envisions that long-awaited dream in which we all hold hands. She invites us to dream with her so that in her country, Afghanistan, peace may reign forever. Her dream is directed to all regions, she enters homes, homes, families, hearts.

An ode to peace that reminds us of the need to be supportive and tolerant.

Look for the Spanish version, El cielo de Afganistan (The Sky of Afghanistan).
