En su narración sobre la invasión israelí, Plestia Alaqad «transforma el dolor en poesía» (Rupi Kaur).

En octubre de 2023, la palestina Plestia Alaqad acababa de graduarse y soñaba con ser una periodista de éxito. Poco más de un mes más tarde, las publicaciones en las redes sociales en las que narraba cómo era su día a día en plena invasión israelí la habían convertido en Los ojos de Gaza y conmovían cada día a millones de personas de todo el mundo.

Este diario, que comienza antes del primer bombardeo y termina con el alto el fuego de enero de 2025, recoge los horrores de aquella experiencia. Desde el epicentro de la agitación, mientras las bombas llueven a su alrededor y dan paso a la devastación, Plestia es testigo de las emociones, de su comunidad, de sus generosos actos heroicos y de los momentos de inesperada ternura y vulnerabilidad en medio del caos.

Colocando en primer término la honestidad y la vulnerabilidad de una mujer de veintiún años en mitad de una tragedia humanitaria, este libro es un valioso recordatorio de los horrores de la violencia y un increíble testimonio de la resiliencia humana. Relata una experiencia desgarradora, pero no es un lamento desgarrador. Es, más bien, una íntima y delicada carta de amor al hogar de una chica: demolido ante sus ojos pero siempre presente en su corazón.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

In early October 2023, Palestinian Plestia Alaqad was a recent university graduate dreaming of a career as a journalist. But by the end of November, her homeland was unrecognizable--and she was broadcasting videos of violence and destruction to millions online, known across the world as "The Eyes of Gaza."

On the morning of October 7, 2023, 21-year-old Plestia Alaqad wakes to a flurry of messages and headlines: Gaza under bombardment. Civilians flee waves of Israeli strikes. In a few short days, she and her family will be at the epicenter of a violence that is all too familiar for Palestinians--but this time, she knows, things will never be the same.

A series of diary extracts from the weeks following October 7, The Eyes of Gaza is a gutting, on-the-ground record of the turmoil and destruction endured by the men, women, and children of Palestine. As Alaqad flees from neighborhood to neighborhood, from hospital to hospital, she documents all she sees--the destruction of beloved homes, the waves of bombs, and most of all, the boundless bravery and generosity of her people--all the while trying to memorize the faces of those around her "so somebody will have known them before the end," wondering if, one day, her own journal will be discovered amidst the rubble.

A document of the indomitable Palestinian spirit, told through the voice of one ordinary young woman, The Eyes of Gaza is a tribute to Alaqad's beloved Gaza, a paean to the courage and endurance of Palestine, and a manifesto of hope for its future.

Perfect toddler book for teaching big emotions and calm down techniques in a simple, visual way
Format: Board book, Format: Board book
What I received / first impressions: This is a picture book written for toddlers and young children that walks through what big emotions feel like, where you feel them in your body, and what to do when they show up. It is written in a way that is easy for kids to follow along with a parent and includes practical techniques they can actually use in the moment. What I liked: - Perfectly written for young kids: The language and pacing are just right for toddlers to stay engaged and understand without getting lost. - Teaches body awareness around emotions: I love that it helps children recognize where in their body they feel emotions, which is such a foundational skill for emotional regulation. - Covers a full range of emotions: It addresses big feelings that come from both difficult and happy moments, and acknowledges that emotions show up differently for everyone which is an important and inclusive message. - Interactive and easy to practice at home: This is something you can do together as a family, not just read and set aside. The techniques are simple enough for little ones to actually try. - Parent tips included in the back: The added section for parents on how to integrate the techniques into daily life is a thoughtful bonus that makes this more than just a read-aloud. - Great addition alongside other behavior books: We are fans of the Best Behavior series like Teeth Are Not for Biting and Hands Are Not for Hitting and this fits right in alongside those in both tone and approach. What I didn't like / concerns: Nothing. This book delivered exactly what we needed and then some. Who I think this is best for: - Parents of toddlers and young children looking for a practical, visual tool for emotional regulation - Families who already enjoy behavior and feelings books and want to add to their collection - Anyone looking for a book they can actively use with their child rather than just read to them - Teachers or caregivers working with young children on identifying and managing big emotions Bottom line: This book has genuinely helped us work through big emotions at home in a way our child can understand and participate in. It is visual, approachable, and gives both kids and parents real tools to use together. We are so glad we found it and it has earned a permanent spot in our regular reading rotation. Would I buy again? Yes, and would gift it to other parents of young children without hesitation.

Toddlerhood is a journey you should enjoy
Format: Hardcover, Format: Hardcover
Toddlerhood is a completely different game from the newborn or the curious infant. But it's not just "the terrible twos," or the throw down to the ground tantrums. It's learning and doing so together and finding joy every day. As a single mom, i was looking for parenting advice and books and felt like I was continuously getting let down. I liked a little from a couple of different topics, but it felt like no one was really connecting to what I wanted to represent. I read the book transforming toddlerhood, and was so happy. Not only does the book have great advice, but actual real situation suggestions and free available resources you can download and use. My coparent and I have both read it. We love that you can do sections at a time, the easy and relatable language and small laughs of how on point Devon is. Really the only toddler parenting book you need!
