More Quotes from Linda Ellerbee:
Kids have told us this war is very real to them, but when you're a kid, even when you have something important to say, it's not always easy to be heard. We grownups like to think of childhood as a time of total innocence. Kids know better. They aren't able to ignore this war. The noise is too loud. And so they think about it. Now they get a chance to tell the rest of us what they're thinking.Linda Ellerbee
