War and Children’s Literature

However, according to the UN, more children are hurt in today’s wars than soldiers. So how can educators navigate such a potentially difficult subject without glorifying violence? By redefining the word courage! Wafa' Tarnowska, the author of ‘Nour’s Secret Library’ published by Barefoot Books, will lead a conversation on this difficult topic.
