Through their father 's memories\, the Old City of Jerusalem comes to life: the sounds of juice vendors beating rhythms with brass cups\, the smell of argileh drifting t hrough windows\, and the sight of doves flapping their wings toward home. These daughters of the diaspora feel love for a place they have never been \, a home they cannot visit. But\, as their father’s story comes to an e nd\, they know that through his memories\, they will always return.\n\nA P alestinian family celebrates the stories of their homeland in this moving autobiographical picture book debut by Hannah Moushabeck. With heartfelt i llustrations by Reem Madooh\, this story is a love letter to home\, to fam ily\, and to the persisting hope of people that transcends borders.\n\n"Ha nnah Moushabeck has written a marvelous\, utterly transporting story descr ibing the gentle power of precious transmitted memory and the wistfulness of immigrants\, particularly those in exile from an occupied or altered pl ace. Homeland does what decades of sad news stories have repeatedly fail ed to do for Palestine—humanize a beautiful people and place.
