This book tells the story of a little girl from Syria beautifully and mostly in images. It had me searching for more on the book‘s real life namesake, a legendary Syrian queen. There are so few stories told of real life women leaders from ancient times! Ultimately though, this book is about a nation in turmoil and the human costs. I loved this sweet, sad, inspiring book!
