The Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC) has held a launching event of the illustrated children’s anthology book “Once Upon a Time in Zaatari and Azraq Camp”, it said in a statement.

The stories were written by Syrian refugees in Zaatari and Azraq Camp and the book was illustrated and published by Kitabna. Free copies of the book were distributed to parents whose children are enrolled in NRC learning center.

“This event is not only an opportunity to present the book, it is also to kick off the second cohort of the learning centre activities in Zaatari,” said Christian De Luca, Education Project Manager for NRC in Jordan.

“We wanted this book that keeps alive the beautiful tradition of storytelling in the Middle East, Hakawati to be read by the Syrian facilitators to the children at the learning center, but also by Syrian refugee parents to their children at home, in the camps”, he added.
