Description
Children Growing Up with War by Jenny Matthews uses personal narratives and photographs to document the experiences of children living in conflict zones worldwide. The book follows the photographer as she visits refugee camps, damaged villages, overcrowded cities, clinics, and support centers to show how children and their families cope with war. It also examines the basic rights that are often denied to these children, including adequate nutrition, medical care, and education. The narrative presents the challenges and resilience of young people growing up amid violence and strife.
