 is daughters may not be able to return home . . . but they can celebrate s
 tories of their homeland!\n\nAs bedtime approaches\, three young girls eag
 erly await the return of their father who tells them stories of a faraway 
 homeland—Palestine. Through their father's memories\, the Old City of Je
 rusalem comes to life: the sounds of juice vendors beating rhythms with br
 ass cups\, the smell of argileh drifting through windows\, and the sight o
 f 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 end\, they know that through his 
 memories\, they will always return.\n\nA Palestinian family celebrates the
  stories of their homeland in this moving autobiographical picture book de
 but by Hannah Moushabeck. With heartfelt illustrations by Reem Madooh\, th
 is story is a love letter to home\, to family\, and to the persisting hope
  of people that transcends borders.\n\n"Hannah Moushabeck has written a ma
 rvelous\, utterly transporting story describing the gentle power of precio
 us transmitted memory and the wistfulness of immigrants\, particularly tho
 se in exile from an occupied or altered place. Homeland does what decade
 s of sad news stories have repeatedly failed to do for Palestine—humaniz
 e a beautiful people and place. I wish my father were alive so I could giv
 e him this book."—Naomi Shihab Nye\, award-winning author of Habibi an
