In her book Bursting Balloons: Innocence at War, author Linda Walvoord Girard tells the stories of some of these children. Through interviews with survivors and archival research, Girard paints a vivid picture of the horrors that children endured during the war. She describes children who were killed, injured, or orphaned. She also tells the stories of children who were forced to witness unspeakable violence and who were left with lasting psychological scars.

Girard's book is not just a litany of horrors, however. It is also a story of hope and resilience. She tells the stories of children who managed to survive and thrive despite the trauma they experienced. She also highlights the work of aid workers and other individuals who dedicated themselves to helping children during the war.

Bursting Balloons is a powerful and moving book that will stay with readers long after they finish it. It is a reminder of the human cost of war and of the importance of protecting children from its horrors.
