Based on a true story. Can books bring a new dawn for the people of Syria? Inspirational!
Forced to take shelter when their Syrian city of Damascus is plagued with bombings, young Nour and her cousin Amir, begin to bravely rescue books from the destruction, and build a secret underground library.
Written by award-winning international author, Wafa Tarnowska, based on her own life experience and inspired by a true story, NOUR'S SECRET LIBRARY is about the power of books to heal, transport and create safe spaces during difficult times.
Illustrations by Romanian artist Vali Mintzi superimpose the colourful world the children construct over black-and-white charcoal depictions of the battered city.
