I Look Like The Moon

From the window of his hospital bedroom, a child looks out at the moon. The bright, white moon is reflected on the child’s smooth, bare head. More than their similarity in appearance, both the moon and the child are symbols of purity and hope. In her delicate and poetic style, children’s author Muneera Saad Al-Romaihi tackles the poignant subject of brave children fighting the battle for their life where they face disease with a smile, and see the light in the heart of darkness.
