Sitti's Bird: A Gaza Story | Malak Mattar

1 post | 1 read

The story of how a little girl in Gaza finds strength and hope through her painting Malak is a little girl that lives in Gaza with her parents. She goes to school, plays in the ocean, and visits her Sitti’s house on Fridays. One day while she is in school, airstrikes begin. She spends the next 50 days at home with her parents worrying and feeling scared, until one day she picks up her paint brush… Sitti’s Bird: A Gaza Story is a unique children’s picture book, written and illustrated by Palestinian artist, Malak Mattar. Reflecting her experiences of childhood in Palestine, it tells the story of her rebirth as an artist during the 2014 airstrikes on Gaza and teaches children how to overcome and channel their fears.

Sitti's Bird: A Gaza Story | Malak Mattar

pick

This is Malek‘s story of using art to cope with the trauma of living in occupied Palestine during more than 50 days of bombing as part of Israel‘s ā€Operation Protective Edgeā€¯. It provides a good framework to discuss fear and loss with children, and also ways to cope through things like art. It breaks my heart to know so many more children are experiencing these same things and more right now, with no relief in sight.
