عندما كنت صغرة، قبل رقت ليس هالهعهد، كنت مع اخي ساس وصديقتي نلعب على تراب لفحته الشمس كنا ذضحك، نعدو عبر الصخور والرصل، أحرارآ كالطيور ع

بعدها توقفت الطيور عن الغذاء. بدا الناس يغادرون قريتنا. بداوا فرادى ثم صاروا حنودآ، يذهبون عبر حقول عنبرة تحت شمس حارقة، تيان يحركه الأمل. امهاث، اياء، اطفال يبحثون عن مكان أفضل، عن حهاة أفضل.


When I was little, not so long ago, my brother, Sami, our friends and I played on sunbaked soil. We laughed, ran across rocks and sand, free as birds.

Then the birds stopped singing. People began to leave our village. First a trickle, then a stream, across dusty fields under a burning sun, a stream driven by hope. Mothers, fathers, children, seeking a better place, a better life.

Stepping Stones tells the story of Rama and her family, who are forced to flee their once-peaceful village to escape the ravages of the civil war raging ever closer to their home. With only what they can carry on their backs, Rama and her mother, father, grandfather and brother, Sami, set out to walk to freedom in Europe. Nizar Ali Badr's stunning stone images illustrate the story.

This unique picture book was inspired by the stone artwork of Syrian artist Nizar Ali Badr. Impressed by the strong narrative quality of Mr. Badr's work, Ruurs, a Canadian children's writer, set out to create a story about the Syrian refugee crisis using many of Mr. Badr's already-created pieces.
