Gaza I Spy

We chose the name Gaza I Spy inspired by the children’s game “I Spy with my little eye,” to suggest that the book is from the perspective of children or seen through their eyes. Through their gaze, we discover what is happening now in Gaza, especially as we challenge the media censorship that attempts to justify what is happening in the Gaza war and obscure the images, numbers, and names. The name also carries a satirical undertone, playing off the original purpose of the game, which is to encourage children to observe the scenes around them. But what do children now see amid this rubble and uncertain future?
