Why a Booktrail?
Children in war torn countries, dream of peace and freedom
The Sky of Afghanistan
What you need to know before your trail
A young girl lives in Afghanistan but despairs of war. War breaks up a country and divides its people. For this young girl, she sees her lack of freedom and the restrictions she and her friends have to endure. All she wants to do is to be like other children who can fly kites and play in the streets.
So she dreams, of floating in the sky above her war torn country and seeing what would happen if she and her people were free.
Travel Guide
When a kite can be used as a sign of freedom and escape:
“The sky can be full of kites, I think to myself,
but it can also be full of dreams…”
“I want to fly high, high,
like a kite in the sky!
I want to feel the pull
of the string in my hand
as it struggles against the wind.”
