The Silent Witness

For ages 7+. Paperback, 32 pages, Size A5

In the heart of Jerusalem stands a silent witness-a majestic olive tree that has observed the unfolding tales of centuries. From the peaceful times under Umar bin al-Khattab’s rule, to the tumultuous era of the Crusaders and the triumphant return to peace led by Salahuddin Ayyubi, the tree has seen it all. Then comes Nooreh, a seven year old Palestinian girl who shows what it means to have everything taken away, yet stay strong.
