The cover for the children's book, Zaya's Dream.

Zaya's Dream is the story of a brave young refugee girl that finds hope, joy, confidence and renewed strength through education. The children's book provides important lessons on the power of learning in overcoming obstacles and the remarkable strength of the human spirit, bringing young readers into Zaya's world as she flees her homeland with her family and finds new hope at a refugee learning centre. Along her journey, Zaya learns to dream again. Zaya's Dream was created through a partnership between ECW and NABU, a nonprofit publisher dedicated to accelerating literacy through access to mother tongue books. Worldwide, millions of children like Zaya are being denied their right to learn, grow and thrive. We must unite in our efforts to ensure every child on the planet–especially those impacted by armed conflict, climate change and other crises–are able to access quality learning environments. 

Zaya’s Dream is available on NABU’s free reading app and web reader, and can be ordered online.
