Even though this is a very short book, it still strikes me to my heart. The art plus the words make it so impactful to the reader. RIP to Alan Kurdi, the 3 year old refugee. ( )

A children's book, though not quite meant for children. It is short, but it is powerful, it is necessary. ( )

Dëshpërim i paimagjinueshëm, - borxhi i Khaled Hosseinit ndaj djalit sirian Alan Kurdi.
Një libër për të gjitha moshat, për ata që përpiqen të gjejnë një vend, një strehë pa luftë në botë.
Ky tregim poetik i rrëfyer me shumë intensitet dhe pasqyruar aq bukur me imazh, vjen në përkujtim të përvjetorit të tretë të vdekjes së Alan Kurdit 3-vjeçar, trupi i pajetë i të cilit u gjet në një breg të Turqisë
