• Hansons hand holds up a copy of the book, their blurry wooden floor in the background.
  • A page of the book with an illustration of a the backs of two young boys, hugging into one another on a simple cot. The text is a translation of the words of a ~7 year old child named Hammoud, "It's not a good morning at all. I had a terrible dream. I dreamt that they took you... They took you..."
  • A page with the words of 7 year old Lina Al Thaher and an illustration of a child pulling a section of a home which towers over here balancing precariously on her small tricycle that she has attached to a string to tow behind her. Text includes “If I could go back and take something? I would take the whole house and leave.”
  • An illustration of two arms, one more adult-like the other of a child, stretching towards each other across the entire length of the page. The two tips of the fingers interlock, as if just barely holding on. The text is from a young girl of around 15, “I remember our elders always used to tell us- No one ever goes to bed hungry. No one dies of hunger in their homeland. But every day, we go to bed hungry. If we don’t die from the bombs we’ll die of hunger."
  • The cover of the book, the handwritten title is centered under the arch of a rainbow illustration and above a serives of small flying colored kites. In the lower right corner typed text reads "testimonies and poems from the children of gaza 2023-2024"
