About the Book

"Palestine A To Z" is a very unique book — it is an English-Arabic bilingual, illustrated book for children. It has tempo, rhyme and alliteration; a joy to read for every generation. It takes the reader from the aspirations of a people to return to their homes in their homeland, through ancestral lemon and olive groves, ancient biblical cities, street foods, tents and refugee camps, to Palestinians' rich history and culture. The author and the illustrators worked hand-in-hand to convey multiple themes and symbols in colorful and meaningful illustrations. ($30)

About the Author

Simon Sakkab is a first generation Palestinian-American. He learned about Palestine, first hand, from his grandmother, a Christian Palestinian, who with her family became refugees during the Nakba of 1948. He has visited many parts of Palestine, and has stories to tell about his experiences and adventures. The book is a labor of love. The author hopes that children of Palestinian descent learn about where they come from, and their beautiful, rich heritage; also, to inspire the curiosity of children worldwide, encouraging them to learn more about Palestine.
