Bana Alabed, 7-year-old Syrian refugee, will publish a memoir

Bana Alabed, the 7-year-old Syrian girl who caught the world's attention on Twitter, will publish a memoir this fall.

Simon & Schuster announced the book deal last week. The memoir will be called "Dear World."

Alabed's Twitter account, which is run by her mother, Fatemah, started in September 2016. The tweets offered a glimpse of life in Aleppo as it came under siege.

The girl wrote about war, but also about her family and her love of reading. Caitlin Gibson at The Washington Post called her "our era's Anne Frank."

After a series of tense messages in December of last year, which suggested that Alabed and her family were in extreme danger from mounting violence, she was evacuated to Turkey.

On Twitter, she has continued to call on world leaders to work for peace, and to share pictures from her new life.

"I am so happy to have this opportunity to tell my story and the story of what has happened in Aleppo to the world," she said in the release from Simon & Schuster. "I hope my book will make the world do something for the children and people of Syria and bring peace to children all over the world who are living in war."
