"The Librarian of Basra" is a children's book written and illustrated by Jeanette Winter. It is the true story of a woman librarian (in a country where women have little value and power) "struggling to save her community's priceless collection of books" and the lengths she went to to accomplish this feat.
I recommend this book as a gift for the children in your life and a portion of the proceeds from the sale of the book are being donated to a fund administered by the American Library Association to help rebuild the book collection of Basra's Central Library.
