We Are Palestinian: A Celebration of Culture and Tradition | Reem Kassis
2 posts | 1 read
A stunning non-fiction children’s book celebrating everything Palestinian! From culture and food, to music and literature, We Are Palestinian is a celebration of Palestinian heritage. Brought to life by award-winning writer Reem Kassis, every spread is filled with wonderful anecdotes, fascinating facts, and memorable quotes. It is beautifully illustrated by Noha Eilouti, an emerging Palestinian-Canadian illustrator. Discover ALL about the history of iconic Palestinian symbols like tatreez embroidery, or the inspiration behind Mahmoud Darwish's poetry. As you turn every page, you'll find yourself lost in the world of Dabke (the folk dance of Palestine) and amazed by its famous old cities; you'll try traditional food like knafeh, explore the different religions, and find out much more. Each spread of We Are Palestinian is accessible, richly inspiring, and visually stunning. Young readers are going to love discovering more about Palestine. This is the perfect book for parents, educators, and caregivers wishing to explore new worlds of culture and custom with children!

Rounding out my #bannedbooksweek reading with this illustrated overview of Palestinian history and culture. There‘s a lot of great info here, in bite sized pieces, from geography to cultural symbols, food, arts, history, and well-known poets, authors, and journalists. It‘s a really important book that showcases the rich history and culture of a people being othered and erased.

DGRachel @dabbe Thank you! I buy all of my Interlink Press books (and their imprints) direct from the publisher since they are the only Palestinian owned publishers in the US and they included that bookmark and some stickers in my last order. 💖 1w
