A Dream of Palestine

A Dream of Palestine: Teta’s Story of al-Nakba

By Wafa Shami, illustrated by Christina Qahoush 

Noor, a young school-aged girl, is curious to learn about what happened to her Palestinian grandmother (teta) during the infamous 1948 Nakba (The Catastrophe) that befell the Palestinian people, and why her family was forced to leave their home in al-Quds (Jerusalem). Why were they pushed out of their homeland? Where did they go? And how did they become refugees?

Join Noor while she sits down with her teta who narrates this story of the Nakba and shares what happened to their family back then. Noor is eager to listen and learn the history of the Palestinian people and their suffering. As her teta’s story unfolds, Noor is saddened by what she learns and becomes eager to help in the fight for a free Palestine.
