Even the prettiest of families, hide dark secrets!
Little Abassi is a six-year-old boy from a remote village in Africa. His homeland is a sunny paradise to all the children who play happily together in the heart of the village, but things are different for Abassi. He is an outsider and, he has a secret that he keeps hidden away in his heart. With no other choice but to flee the hardships he faces at home and no one to turn to in his community Abassi finds himself alone and on the run but, can he really outrun all he has left behind before his chance is gone?
This powerful and beautifully crafted tale makes some difficult but necessary topics more approachable for young readers while allowing them and the adults who care for them to gently address big feelings and emotions that can often be hard to express.
THE SCAR
Life in a small village in Africa is great, but is it for everyone? No one can protect Abassi, a six -year-old boy, against his father’s anger. Where can he go? Whom could he talk to? What would he do? The theme of this book is as timely as it is potent. It is about parents mistreating their children. “The Scar” is the first book out of four, presenting the problematic lives of children living in remote villages on the fringe of society worldwide. These stories will spark children’s interest in other places, cultures, customs, and different lifestyles. Hopefully, the stories will make them reflect on their own beautiful and comfortable lives and teach them gratefulness towards their families’ love and support.
