Walking in the war

About the book

Walking In the War is a poignant narrative of war and the chaos and uncertainties it brings in the lives of two young boys. The young author Shivaansh was drawn in by the images and sounds of the current Ukraine War he witnessed on BBC television. This project started as an assignment in his creative writing class and was built into a full story amalgamating imagination and facts. The story, refracted through the lens of a six-year-old mind, focuses on the gestures of humanity and kindness that two boys experience walking in the war, while also faintly feeling the forebodings of a world out of joint.
