{"product_id":"homes-abu-bakr-al-rabeeah-winnie-yeung","title":"Homes","description":"Finalist for the 2018 Governor General's Award for Non-Fiction In 2010, the al Rabeeah family left their home in Iraq in hope of a safer life. They moved to Homs, in Syria - just before the Syrian civil war broke out. Abu Bakr, one of eight children, was ten years old when the violence began on the streets around him: car bombings, attacks on his mosque and school, firebombs late at night. Homes tells of the strange juxtapositions of growing up in a war zone: horrific, unimaginable events punctuated by normalcy - soccer, cousins, video games, friends. Homes is the remarkable true story of how a young boy emerged from a war zone - and found safety in Canada - with a passion for sharing his story and telling the world what is truly happening in Syria. As told to her by Abu Bakr al Rabeeah, writer Winnie Yeung has crafted a heartbreaking, hopeful, and urgently necessary book that provides a window into understanding Syria.\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Abu Bakr al Rabeeah, Winnie Yeung\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Freehand Books\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eYear:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2018\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Freehand Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45681405984959,"sku":"9781988298283","price":5.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0700\/1060\/1663\/files\/9781988298283-L.jpg?v=1780469365","url":"https:\/\/www.blendedbooknook.com\/products\/homes-abu-bakr-al-rabeeah-winnie-yeung","provider":"Blended Book Nook","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
