On February 17, Hannah will be reading from her NEIBA Award-winning picture book, "Homeland: My Father Dreams of." This event is open to the public and completely free. However, we kindly request that you RSVP. In this heartfelt autobiographical debut, a Palestinian family celebrates the stories of their homeland. As bedtime approaches, three young girls eagerly anticipate their father's return, who regales them with tales of a faraway Palestine. Through his memories, the Old City of Jerusalem springs to life: the rhythmic beats of juice vendors, the scent of argileh wafting through windows, and the graceful flight of doves towards home. Despite not being able to physically return, these daughters of the diaspora hold a deep love for a place they have never been and a home they cannot visit. As their father's story draws to a close, they understand that through his cherished memories, they will always find their way back home. With exquisite illustrations by Reem Madooh, this moving story serves as a love letter to family, home, and the enduring hope that transcends borders. Don't miss this enchanting event at Print: A Bookstore. Mark your calendars for February 17 and prepare to be captivated by "Homeland: My Father Dreams of" by Hannah Moushabeck.
