In the quiet of the night, a mother and her son begin a difficult conversation. The child hesitates to tell of a scene of violence he witnessed at school. He understands its gravity all the more because he fled a country at war. Memories of that traumatic past overlay the present, and the boundary between the events blurs to better illuminate the mechanisms of fear. Thanks to his mother’s listening and love, he finds the courage to act. Determined to speak about it at school the next day, the child falls asleep at peace. A sensitive and profound picture book about violence, war, and resilience.
