Forced to take shelter when their Syrian city is plagued with bombings, young Nour and her cousin begin to bravely build a secret underground library. Based on the author’s own life experience and inspired by a true story, Nour’s Secret Library is about the power of books to heal, transport and create safe spaces during difficult times. Illustrations by Romanian artist Vali Mintzi superimpose the colorful world the children construct over black-and-white charcoal depictions of the battered city.

Amazing, I like it.
I loved how this author details the way books can bring people together and connect a community - it makes it even sweeter that this is based off of a true secret library. This book also has pages of facts and information which was interesting to read too.
