The Levant is a region with a rich history. It embraces hundreds of races and ethnicities, and most religions and civilizations that shaped the ancient world originated there, all merging to become what it is today. At the heart of this land is the city of Damascus, known to people as Shaam. Our protagonist carries this name and walks on a difficult and long path. Many have walked it before, and many will walk it after. It lies between wars and destruction, and the greed of some people drove them to seek a better life and the warmth of others. In our story, we avoided mentioning any specific place or city; we wanted Shaam to be the voice of all children in the world. Despite people’s differences, they all share pain and the same dream.
