Customer Reviews

A powerful message for all

The pictures and words are incredibly powerful in this beautiful book. As an ex-New Yorker, it reminded me of the importance of sharing these stories with my child and other children close to me. Many of them were not born when 9/11 happened but the movement for peace that grew from this experience is something that everyone needs to know of and to continually push for. Thank you for publishing these inspiring and sensitive art works so we can all use it as a spring board to move one step closer to peace.

What Kids Feel

I know one of the co-authors who wrote the book and I know how much it means for a kid to get their word across to hundreds of people worldwide. The book shows how they felt on one of the worst days in history and how they cope with it all. Very poetical and the images are real and have a great impact on a person. I cried twice!

The Best Book

I know two of the co-authors because there are my best friends. I was there when everything happened and we were just in class.I read the book and it's great. I give this book 5 stars and they give different perspective of kids feeling about 9/11. I advise you to buy and it's worth it.

inspirational

when my mom bought me this book yesterday i was so inspired and touched. My brothers very good friend died on 9/11 and i was so sad, but when i read this book it brought back so many memories, i cried, but not because i was sad but because i was happy to know that there are other people who felt what i felt.
