Children of Olive
AUTHOR'S NOTE
This book was written in the shadow of genocide.
As I write this (December 2024), the people of Gaza and the West Bank continue to endure a
catastrophe that the world watches in real-time. The Nakba is not history; it is happening now.
The horrors in this book are fiction. But they are inspired by testimonies, reports, and the drawings of children who live under occupation. The "Hollow Ones" are not real. But the silence they represent is.
I am not Palestinian. I am a writer from Pakistan who believes that stories are a form of witness. This
book is not a replacement for Palestinian voices —it is an amplification of the scream.
If you want to help, look up organizations providing aid to Gaza. If you want to understand, read the
words of Palestinian authors, journalists, and poets.
We do not forget.
