Two young survivors of a horrific conflict become even closer when their families unite to endure what no child should ever have to endure in our new title, Friendship In A Time of War. Author Genet Telahun reflects on the chaotic trauma of civil war and the power of friendship through the eyes of second-grader Maritu, who is growing up in a small Ethiopian town. In simple, heartbreakingly candid chapters, she documents her friendship with Halima, whose father is the best 6th grade science teacher and a family friend. When conflict comes to their peaceful community, their worlds are upturned and their families must face unimaginable grief. Their love and friendship forms the foundation of a strong community that unites them in the face of tragedy and supports them as they grieve and rebuild. Artist Milkyas Nigussie brings the moments of joy and heartbreak into soft detail and Dr Worku Mulat provides expert translation.

This book deals with potentially triggering topics, including loss of parent.
