The Children's Voices

The children's voices in Tapestry of Hope are both heartbreaking and inspiring. They tell of the horrors they witnessed, but they also speak of their hope and resilience.

Another powerful story in the book is "The Girl with the Red Coat" by Zlata Filipovic. Zlata was a young girl who lived in Sarajevo during the Bosnian War. She wrote a diary about her experiences during the war.

In "The Girl with the Red Coat," Zlata describes the horrors she witnessed. She saw people being killed and homes being destroyed. But even in the midst of all the violence, Zlata never lost her hope for peace.
