Andrea Davis Pinkney is known for his mature African-American experience who gained inspiration from studying and writing "red pencils" after learning what happened in Darfur, Sudan It is. Through seemingly simple prose poetry, she has a twelve year old Amira talking about her. A family-run farm in South Darfur lives with his father, mother, and older sister Art-Amira expresses himself on the beach with short pictures, but he is keen to learn to read and write. Her father is a supporter, but her more traditional conscious mother is not - this is not their way. Amira is a responsible daughter along with her mother's wish. But one day, everything is changing. Their village was cruelly attacked, and many people including Amira's dear father were killed. Her and her sister, mother, and other survivors made a long and difficult physical and emotional journey at the camp.

On my trip to the Lebanon refugee camp, Lawrence van den Boer, the founder of Red Pencil, was shocked by the violence she saw with her children. "When a child takes a ball and another child seizes it, they sometimes will throw stones to each other," she said. In the strait Times article, she explained that the children showed their anger and fear, were excited about each other, and imitated the violence they saw from adults. This emotional trauma is the reason that Mrs Vandeborre founded the charity called The Red Pencil in 2011. Five of the team members in 2015 come from Singapore, the other six from the United States and Australia. Mrs. Van der Boer saw the sufferings of families and children in the Islamic State (ISIS) of Iraq and Syria, and she wanted to help the treatment process. She has seen the benefits of art therapy in Singapore and other areas, and she knows that she might benefit from these traumatized children.

By the end of the nineteenth century the United States used more than 240,000 pencils a day. The most popular pencil tree is fragrant, it is red cedar because it does not break even if it is sharpened. In the early twentieth century, supply of red cedars gradually decreased, so pencil manufacturers were forced to collect wood from cedar fences and barns to maintain supply. Aromatherapy Cedar was immediately found to be an appropriate substitute if it is dyed with aroma and resembles red cedar. Most of today's pencils are made from this tree raised in managed forests. More than 14 billion pencils are produced every year worldwide. Replacement items of less popular cedar include eucalyptus and elm
