Written and Illustrated by Sundus Abdul Hadi

Shams is a little girl made of glass. One fateful day, Shams breaks into a million pieces. We follow Shams’s transformation from a fragile little girl into a survivor, with the help of her own imagination and the guidance of Shifaa, the healer.  A story of trauma and empowerment, "Shams" transforms tragedy into magical realism, guided by ancestral wisdom. Blending storytelling and powerful illustrations, Shams is brought to life as an otherworldly being in her small universe.
