Kids of Kabul

Reach for this book when your child is starting to ask complex questions about global inequality, war, or why some children live so differently than they do. It is a powerful tool for building deep empathy and gratitude by introducing real-life stories of young people in Afghanistan. Through these interviews, your teen will encounter children who face extreme poverty, lack of education, and the aftermath of conflict with startling bravery and hope. It is a sobering but necessary read that bridges the gap between headline news and human reality. While the subject matter is heavy, the focus remains on the resilience and dreams of the children themselves. It is best suited for middle and high schoolers who are ready to engage with serious social issues and develop a more nuanced, global perspective.
