A collection of drawings by Syrian children, the most vulnerable victims of a brutal civil war, curated by Archibald Prize winner Ben Quilty, with a Foreword by Man Booker Prize winner Richard Flanagan.

Ben Quilty has assembled this heartbreaking and awe-inspiring collection of drawings by Syrian children. These drawings form an extraordinary testament to the resilience of a generation of survivors whose childhood has been shaped by the worst war of our century. Their art speaks directly to us all as human beings, and we have an obligation to listen closely and seriously.

Proceeds from the sale of this book will directly support World Vision’s Child Friendly Spaces, early childhood and basic education projects in Syria, Lebanon, Jordan and Iraq.

The detail of the children's drawings lets you know they have seen bombings and injuries often enough to imprint shapes in their subconscious yet they can draw the hope and wish to return to their homeland to rebuild and live a peaceful life surrounded by their friends and family.
I challenge anyone to read this book and put it down without being touched by a child's desire to be at home with its family.
