Dear unkown friend
P. 1





























Dear unknown friend is a 


collection of drawings and 

letters written by children 


living in Sarajevo during the 

siege of that city when its 


residents were under constant 

bombardment and sniper fire. 
Dear unknown friend,

Writing to pen pals in 

America, the children tell 


extraordinary stories about 

their experiences of the war 
Children’s Letters from Sarajevo

amidst the ordinary preoccu- 

pations of childhood. This 


book is a testament to the 

courage of the children and 


their ability to cope with fear 

and suffering without losing 


their dreams of the future. 


Their own words, so evocative 

of childhood even when 


describing the horrors of war, 

are a sign of hope that the 


spirit of these children will 

survive and triumph.
