A Map for Falasteen

Author: Maysa OdehIllustrator: Aliaa Betawi

This beautifully written book offers perspectives from three generations of a Palestinian family living in the US. The poetic advice from Mama is reassuring for anyone in diaspora communities who feels they are far from home. By capturing the feelings of a community witnessing their own erasure, the book provides an understanding of the plight of Palestinian people, and offers a way to introduce and discuss these events with young children.
