inspirational but with insidious flaw
This is generally awesome and inspirational but contains one totally flawed story, all the other stories are about children who overcome extraordinary difficulties or do wonderful and beneficial human deeds. Then there is this highly detailed PROPAGANDA praising the Syrian white helmets and condemnation of the Syrian government and propagating the lie that the Syrian government used chemical weapons on its own people. The fact that the rest of the book is so inspiring makes this even more disgusting.

not for kids
This book is not for children. Some of the stories are far to graphic for them.
