Bana’s happy childhood was abruptly upended by civil war when she
was only three years old. Over the next four years, she knew
nothing but bombing, destruction, and fear. Her harrowing ordeal
culminated in a brutal siege where she, her parents, and two
younger brothers were trapped in Aleppo, with little access to
food, water, medicine, or other necessities.

Facing death as bombs relentlessly fell around them—one of which
completely destroyed their home—Bana and her family embarked on a
perilous escape to Turkey.

Dear World is not just a gripping account
of a family endangered by war; it offers a uniquely intimate,
child’s perspective on one of the biggest humanitarian crises in
history. Bana has lost her best friend, her school, her home, and
her homeland. But she has not lost her hope—for herself and for
other children around the world who are victims and refugees of war
and deserve better lives.
