Map for Falasteen: A Palestinian Child's Search for Home | Maysa Odeh

1 post | 1 read

A young Palestinian girl living in diaspora struggles to find her homeland on a map in this gentle and heartfelt picture book. At school, Falasteen and her classmates are tasked with finding their families' home countries on a map, but no matter how hard she looks, Falasteen can't find Palestine. Can a place exist if it's not on a map? Confused, Falasteen turns to her family for answers. Her grandfather, grandmother, and Mama encourage her to see their homeland from a different perspective, and each of their stories helps her understand her people's history and her own place in the world. Filled with beautiful, inspiring illustrations and thoughtful back matter that outlines key terms and historical moments, this is a story of family, resilience and home always being where the heart is.

Map for Falasteen: A Palestinian Child's Search for Home | Maysa Odeh

Beautiful. A Palestinian author and artist pairing telling a simple story that, per the author's note, “can help families find the words to begin this important conversation“. Surprised by how hard it hit me in just a few pages, but I don't think it would in any way be too upsetting or grown-up for young children to read with their parents. So happy my library has a copy to share. Includes a back page that could function as a leaflet of terms.
