About A Grain Of Sand
At the heart of A Grain of Sand is Renad, a young girl from Gaza who embarks on a perilous journey through a landscape scarred by conflict. With nothing but her grandmother’s stories and her own fierce imagination to guide her, Renad searches for her family and for the legendary ‘Anqaa’—the mythical Palestinian Phoenix said to rise from devastation.
Her quest is both literal and symbolic, a journey through memory, myth, and survival that illuminates the resilience of children caught in the shadows of war.
