Children's book by Hannah Moushabeck evoking Palestinian family memory and everyday life in Jerusalem's Old City through a young girl's relationship with her father's stories of his Palestinian homeland. The book uses accessible narrative and illustration to introduce young readers to the experience of exile, longing, and intergenerational memory as lived by Palestinian families in diaspora. Recommended for educators working with young readers and for researchers studying Palestinian children's literature and the representation of exile and displacement for young audiences, as Moushabeck's book is one of the few children's books in English that centers Palestinian family memory and longing for Jerusalem.
