What the kite saw / by Carter, Anne Laurel,1953-; Düzakin, Akin,1960-;
In this memorable story, a young boy finds solace flying his kite from the rooftop after soldiers take his father and brother away.

At suppertime, he can<U+2019>t stop looking at the two empty places at the table and his sister can<U+2019>t stop crying. The boy looks out the window and is chilled to see a tank<U+2019>s spotlight searching the park where he plays with his friends. He hears shouts and gunshots and catches sight of someone running in the street <U+2014> if only they could fly away, he thinks. Each day the curfew is lifted briefly, and the boy goes to the park to see his friends. One day, inspired by the wind in the trees, he has an idea. Back at home he makes a kite, and that night he flies it from his rooftop, imagining what it can see.LSC
