They created a story that focuses on a boy in a refugee camp whose experiences reflect those of many Palestinian refugee children. The wall that led to this picture book was built in 2004 across the West Bank, home to more than a million Palestinians. This wall separates the refugee camp from the children’s old village and the land where their grandparents used to harvest. The Palestinian refugees call it a separation wall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the story, a Palestinian boy recalls one spring when a high concrete wall was built next to his home. The construction of the wall brought threatening objects and people such as heavy machinery, guns, gas canisters, loud army jeeps, and heavily armed soldiers. The children’s playground is buried as the gray construction covers the springtime landscape. The new gigantic wall brings many concerns for the boy: his soccer field, places to pick flowers, his father’s safety in commuting to work in Jerusalem, and his turtle’s adjustment to a refugee camp.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis hard-to-believe reality is conveyed through a poetic tone to the narration. Portraying the boy’s experiences and thoughts through conditional statements reflects the boy’s longing to go home, which is not physically far away from the camp, yet politically distant. The narration continues with wishful expressions: “Perhaps I will become an onion patch, so that when the solders throw tear gas, my friends can be soothed by my onions.” “If you become an onion patch,” said his mother, “I will become the warm, rich soil in which you grow.” The wishes of the boy and his mother show their hearts. They wish to be a flying kite, a fig tree to feed refugee people, musical pipes to bring people together, a mountain that can see over the wall, and an adventurous book for children.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe collection of illustrations by young artists makes the book powerful and authentic. The story ends with the mother telling her son and perhaps all Palestinian refugee children, “I hope you will become whatever you want to be, but for now I am very glad that you are my little boy. Sit with me under our tree, and I will sing to you of Jerusalem.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book producer, Lajee Centre, is an independent, Palestinian, non-governmental organization that organizes cultural, social, artistic and athletic activities for refugee youth in the Bethlehem area.

The acclaimed cookbook author decided to write a children’s book, she tells us in the introduction to We Are Palestinian, because she wanted to show her young daughters and all young readers ‘how beautiful their culture is and that they can take part in it and be proud of it no matter where they are in the world.’ Kassis accomplishes this—and more. This wonderful book is really a love letter to Palestine itself, describing what it is that makes Palestinians an identifiable Arab nation and imparts to children the reasons they can take pride in their culture. That foundational understanding will stand them in good stead as they grow up in what can often feel like a hostile environment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe text is arranged into seven chapters, each describing a different component of Palestine: geography, cultural symbols, specific people who make a difference, agriculture, cuisine, song and dance, and history and religion. Written for young readers ages nine years and older, every chapter includes a ‘Did You Know?’ and ‘Fun Fact’ blurb that is designed to inform, engage and inspire. Adults can learn a thing or two from them, too.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe text is beautifully illustrated by Noha Eilouti, a Canadian-Palestinian visual artist whose drawings complement the text and make every single page a visual treat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAppropriately, the book begins with geography: the cities, towns and villages in which Palestinians have lived their lives over the centuries. People are rooted in specific places, and few people have had their connection to a specific geography come under sustained and relentless attack as have Palestinians. Kassis selects 11 cities and presents distinctive features of each.\"\u003cbr\u003e―Washington Report on Middle East Affairs\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher ‏ : ‎ \u003c\/strong\u003eCrocodile Books (September 19, 2023)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLanguage ‏ : ‎ \u003c\/strong\u003eEnglish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHardcover ‏ : ‎ \u003c\/strong\u003e112 pages\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13 ‏ : ‎ \u003c\/strong\u003e978-1623717254\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReading age ‏ : ‎ \u003c\/strong\u003e9 years and up\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrade level ‏ : ‎ \u003c\/strong\u003e4 - 6\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eItem Weight ‏ : ‎ \u003c\/strong\u003e15 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions ‏ : ‎ \u003c\/strong\u003e9 x 0.6 x 7.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Interlink","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43274073866409,"sku":"Book_we_are_palestinian","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0608\/3844\/5225\/files\/wearepalestinian.jpg?v=1696827934"},{"product_id":"homeland","title":"Homeland: My Father Dreams of Palestine","description":"\u003ch1\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHomeland: My Father Dreams of Palestine \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eby \u003cspan\u003eHannah Moushabeck (Author), \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-width=\"\"\u003eReem Madooh \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e(Illustrator)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA father and his daughters may not be able to return home . . . but they can celebrate stories of their homeland!\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs bedtime approaches, three young girls eagerly await the return of their father who tells them stories of a faraway homeland—Palestine. Through their father's memories, the Old City of Jerusalem comes to life: the sounds of juice vendors beating rhythms with brass cups, the smell of argileh drifting through windows, and the sight of doves flapping their wings toward home.
