WE ARE THE HELPERS
We tend the farm,
help to make the food grow,
Somewhere there is fighting,
but we are here, helping the sun
and the rain and the rich earth
bring forth the plants of life.

Through these graceful and eloquent poems, written from the child's perspective, readers will experience this resilience, this optimism, and understand that it is possible to get through difficult and unsettling times while holding onto one's hopes and dreams for a better, more peaceful future.
