Description

 

An inspiring advocacy story written and illustrated by students around the world, dedicated to Syrian children and their families.

Meet Aidan and Tariq, two young soccer enthusiasts, growing up on opposite sides of the world. One fall, Tariq and his family attempt to escape the civil war in Aleppo, Syria, and television images of children fleeing the violence deeply trouble Aidan. While Tariq’s family makes the brave and difficult journey to Amman, Jordan, Aidan considers how he and his classmates might respond. As Tariq dreams of playing soccer and being reunited with his family, Aidan explores a meaningful journey of friendship. Together, they bridge the distance between them.” 

Book Mission:

Dear Tariq is an inspired grassroots children’s advocacy story written and illustrated by a team of international students to help raise awareness, empathy and compassion around the Syrian refugee crisis. A portion of the proceeds from “Dear Tariq” will go to Sirin Hamada, a young Syrian refugee who began illustrating this creative project at just ten years old, in addition to other Syrian families. Dear Tariq’s creative team hopes that this poignant advocacy story will create a lasting ripple effect that fosters collective kindness, dignity, community, and action!
