In July of 2014, the world watched with great sadness as violence erupted once again between Israelis and Palestinians in the Gaza Strip. Palestinian writer (and former Sesame Street producer) Naila Farouky wrote a powerful poem that was a cry from the heart for maintaining humanity, even in the face of pain, rage and sorrow. The poem became a picture book, illustrated by Israeli artist Ora Eitan. We hope that readers will be inspired by this small-but-mighty vow, shared by a Palestinian writer and an Israeli artist in the face of violence: I WILL NOT. Published in English, Arabic and Hebrew. All three languages are printed in every edition. "She has truly captured what people feel, fear and can no longer understand. It brought both sadness and hope to me." -Cairo Arafat, Child Rights Governance Advisor, SAVE THE CHILDREN / Occupied Palestinian Territories.
