A wide-ranging introduction to Palestinian heritage

Organized across individual spreads, this children’s nonfiction book introduces Palestinian heritage through cultural practices, history, food, music, and literature. Topics include tatreez embroidery, the folk dance dabke, traditional food such as knafeh, Palestinian cities, and the poetry of Mahmoud Darwish. The book also addresses the region’s different religions, giving its cultural portrait several points of entry. Reem Kassis is the author, and Noha Eilouti is the illustrator. The spread-based format brings together facts and anecdotes across a broad range of subjects, making this a cultural overview rather than a deep dive into any single topic.
