Iqbal & Yasmin: A Kashmiri Story - Realistic Fiction 5-8

By Mark Holmes

This story is also available as part of an eight story ebook, "Young Voices: Eight Short Stories of Courage & Resilience."

Set during the Kashmir conflict, "Iqbal and Yasmin: A Story of Childhood in Kashmir" tells the poignant story of two siblings experiencing the harrowing realities of war. Iqbal, an eight-year-old boy, and his sister Yasmin face the loss of innocence as their village is engulfed by violence with Indian and Pakistani forces in constant contention. Yasmin suffers a traumatic assault by a soldier, while Iqbal strives to restore normalcy by organizing cricket games. Their childhood is a stark contrast of fear and a courageous attempt to find joy and unity in a time of despair.

There are thought provoking questions (and possible answers) at the end of the story.

Learning Objectives

Understanding Conflict: The book provides a lens to view the Kashmir conflict and its effects on the local population.

Effects of War on Children: It emphasizes the profound impact of conflict on the mental and physical well-being of young people.

Resilience and Hope: Iqbal's actions illustrate the capacity for resilience and the pursuit of communal healing even in the darkest times.

Cultural Insight: Readers learn about Kashmir's rich culture and the severe challenges its people face.

Human Rights: The story is a gateway to discussions about protecting civilians and upholding human rights during conflict.

Peacebuilding: It encourages the exploration of non-violent methods for conflict resolution and peacebuilding within communities.

Beyond the Horizon: A Mexican Border Story - Realistic Fiction

By Mark Holmes

This story is also available as part of an eight story ebook, "Young Voices: Eight Short Stories of Courage & Resilience."

In "Beyond the Horizon," a poignant tale unfolds, following the footsteps of Jose and his three close friends as they embark on a journey that will test the bounds of their friendship and the depth of their dreams. Set against the backdrop of their small Mexican town, this 1200-word story invites readers to walk alongside these spirited youths as they navigate the rugged path to a future filled with hope and uncertainty.

The narrative weaves the laughter, fears, and silent strength of this band of brothers, who are determined to chase the opportunities that eluded their ancestors. With the golden dawn of possibilities before them, they face the daunting challenge of crossing the Mexico-U.S. border, carrying not just their aspirations but also the rich cultural heritage of their homeland.

As the four friends confront the harsh realities of their quest, their bond is tested in ways they never imagined. The story captures the essence of human resilience and the unbreakable spirit of those who dare to dream beyond their horizon. Join us in this heartfelt journey that transcends borders and resonates with anyone who has ever reached for the stars.

There are thought provoking questions (and possible answers) at the end of the story.
