Tirza Atar. Vid viyny plachut. (They Cry Because of War)

"These poems were composed by Israeli poet Tirza Atar – a very special, delicate and sensitive nature. She composed them long ago, in the mid 70s. Sure, not about our reality – but about theirs, for the war has long been grown into normal lives of people there. And it is creepy that these poems – written on behalf of a seven year-old Jewish girl – are so much in unison with our reality.
And Kateryna Sadovschuk created the illustration. Both the poems, and the drawings permeate...
"They Cry Because of War" – this is the title of this small book. Yes, they cry because of war. This seems to be the most accurate definition of what a war is."
