“Zeina Aboushaar was only 9 when the Syrian government bombed her school in the Damascus suburb of Darayya.

Zeina managed to escape with her family and today she lives in a suburb of Detroit with her mother and 3 brothers. (Her parents are divorced and her father lives in Egypt.) When memories overwhelm her, she sits down to write. She shared her story to explain what’s happening in her country.”
