I Survived the Attacks of September 11th, 2001

Balancing honesty with age-appropriateness must have been tough. I'm curious about how much of the real events were included and how they approached the emotional impact.

I appreciated how this made a complex and tragic event accessible, but I wonder if some felt it simplified things too much or sparked new questions about the day.

Seeing the events through a child's eyes makes it more personal, but I wonder how the author decided on this angle and what they hoped young readers would take away.
