Author's name: Ziad Khodashdar Publisher: Tabaq for Publishing and Distribution Year of publication: 2024 Literary classification: Collection of stories About the book: "Sheaves of the Field - Stories of Martyr Children" is a book that narrates the stories of martyr children during the First Intifada and details their lives. Among these martyrs, the child martyr Yasser Abu Ghosh was chosen to tell his heroics. Yasser Abu Ghosh's sister, Hanan Abu Ghosh, told Watan: this initiative and the release of the book are like a jewel to always remind us of the martyrs, because martyrs are not just numbers; they are lives and children who dreamed of the future. Yasser was a 17-year-old child, and the occupation chased him for months and assassinated him in a brutal way. Therefore, it is necessary to tell the stories of the martyrs and remind of them. Twenty stories documented by writer Ziad Khodash in his book "Sheaves of the Field" pages narrate the blood of martyr children and the details of their innocent lives that the occupation stole at a young age, like a sheaf. Ziad Khodash told Watan: the book narrates the stories of martyr children and their life details, so information about them was employed and transformed into fictional stories, but they are based on reality. He added that the main importance of the book is to emphasize that martyrs are not just numbers; the book came to document their ambitions and innocence in the memory of all Palestinians.
