This book began as a conversation between strangers — a family in Canada and a family in Gaza, connected through Instagram as war consumed their home.

Over the months that followed, Yousef sent messages. Updates. Photos of his children. Images of destruction and moments of ordinary life existing side by side. We video chatted while bombs fell. We watched his family survive.

"For Yousef" is that conversation — preserved exactly as it happened. The timestamps. The typos. The silences between messages. The photos sent at 3am.

This isn't a book about Gaza. It's a book about Yousef, and his family, and what it means to witness someone's life from thousands of kilometers away.
