It’s about hope, therapy and self-esteem. It’s about Peace and Love.

Are you wondering about what Christmas gifts to buy for your friends and family? What about a special gift with a humanitarian meaning? A gift that makes them happy, and makes a refugee child happy? 

A gift that brings refugee children hope and confidence. A children’s book with a hero character that looks like them, shares their experiences and helps them believe in their dreams. It’s about hope, therapy and self-esteem. It’s about Peace and Love.

The Kidnovation team invites you to the launch event of our Kickstarter campaign for our first children’s book “Sarah’s Journey - Dreams make any place home"!

Why you should attend? 
It is a simple way to do good for Christmas. Pledge for copies of the book for your own reading, or for the benefits of refugee children in the camps in the Middle East. 

Sarah's Journey is the world’s first children's book with a refugee girl hero character.
It is an epic adventure inspired by true stories. Written by a refugee in collaboration with professors of psychology at Stockholm University and the university of Vienna.
It is a therapy tool for the refugee children, and an awareness story for the children in peaceful countries. 

It endorses diversity and gender equality, and peaceful dialogue. 
It helps refugee children integrate in their new societies.

Imad Elabdala
Founder of Kidnovation

Imad came as a refugee to Sweden from Syria in 2012. He decided to put his career aside to start building on a solution to heal the hearts and souls of the many displaced kids he'd met along the way. He therefore founded Kidnovation, a media innovation lab that combines storytelling with science and art to create innovative products and make a sustainable change. Sarah's Journey - Dreams Make Any Place Home is their first book.
