Title: Oh Nana
Genre: Children's book Publisher: Kiwi Stories Publication Year: 2024 I first wrote this poem/story in Arabic in 2015. It was born from the depths of my soul as a Palestinian who has lived in many places around the world, but never in Palestine. The search for a belonging, the search for a home, having been born outside of Palestine because my parents and my grandparents were displaced. I wanted to write something to that child inside me, to every Palestinian child, to every child that has faced displacement and loss. And to every grandma who has tried to comfort her grandchildren. You are not alone. Finally, in 2024, my story found the perfect publisher (Kiwi Stories), the same publisher for the Arabic version "Ya Sitti". Just as we were working on getting it published, the attack on Gaza began. And so my poem/story became more poignant. Order in UAE Order in Europe |
