What People Are Saying
Starred review from Booklist “Each story provides insight as to how the 2025 armed conflict . . . affected the creators' daily lives and hte hope and hopelessness they felt. . . . A true feast for the eyes. . . . Readers will find this anthology difficult to put down.”
“There are kernels of hope, moments of joy and an overwhelming sense of love—for relatives, for the people of Iran, for life—but there are no happy endings. These are nuanced, engaging stories which deserve full attention, and they are incredibly important to consult as the cycle of violence repeats yet again.”—School Library Journal
“Each piece contains the urgency and candid hope for connection of a message in a bottle. It's a collection that demands international attention.”—Publishers Weekly
“Raw, beautiful, and another example of the power of the medium and the desperate need to figure out how the hell we can stop all of this madness.”—Yazan al-Saadi, author of Lebanon Is Burning
