Book excerpt: 'That was how it started. It started with a box on a shelf and stories that were for no one in particular' In the heat of the Syrian civil war, a child writes stories: stories about people and circumstances, stories that are for no one- and she puts them in a box. She feeds the box with her thoughts; she puts in everything she has. She doesn't know it but her box becomes powerful. It takes up every word, every smile and every heart beat and slowly, quietly, it grows. It grows into something so much bigger and more profound than she is. She's just a child. She's just a child who promised she'd save another but who doesn't know how. But one day, she looks at her box and she understands. She understands she's found her weapon. A collection of short stories in aid of the children of Syria. All proceeds to charity.
