Introduction by Gail Furman, Ph.D.
The
9 to 14 year olds who made these
drawings offer us a glimpse into
how and what children subjected to
conflict are thinking. Some
children depict the future with
peaceful scenes, others pockmark
their illustrations with scenes of
war and disaster.The simple words
that accompany the illustrations
reveal the tensions and hopes that
are part of these children's
everyday lives.
