The Beacon (Voices of Future Generations)

Abrar’s story, which traverses a world of silver-winged falcons, hissing snakes, and bellowing oryxes, is one such example of the type of magic that can be gifted to others when children are not only given the space to expand their inner world but also convey what matters most to the hearts of writers-in-the-making. Polluted skies in which birds cannot fly, oil-filled waters that cry out to be cleansed, and dying reefs that lie in the hands of creatures with none are fused together in Abrar’s imagination like the twine he uses to convey his ultimate message: that nature, when met with patience and understanding, can release the best of spirits to benefit and heal all.
