Overview
A children’s story that invites families to care, reflect, and come together
The Olive Tree That Remembered is a children’s picture book written by Norashikin Abdul Latiff and illustrated by the team from WarnaKala Studios. It is created to be read together with children or explored independently, offering a story that helps young readers understand empathy, loss, responsibility, and peace in a way that is thoughtful, age-appropriate, and meaningful.
Story Synopsis
Told through the eyes of an old olive tree, the story follows a quiet witness that has stood through generations. It remembers peaceful days, lives unfolding nearby, and a time when everything felt familiar.
As life changes and families are forced to leave, the olive tree remains rooted, watching loss, waiting, and the slow return of hope. Along the way, the story gently invites children and parents to reflect on what is lost when people are separated, what it takes to rebuild, and why peace requires care, choice, and people coming together.
In a world where children are constantly exposed to images of war, destruction, and displacement, this book offers something different. It does not allow suffering to fade into the background. It helps children understand that loss and broken homes should never feel normal, and that human lives matter.
For parents, this story opens space for honest, age-appropriate conversations. It helps guide children towards empathy and awareness, instead of fear or emotional numbness. It reminds families that caring is something we learn, practice, and pass on.
