I Am From Palestine

I Am From Palestine is a picture book that follows a child sharing memories, landscapes, and traditions from Palestine, celebrating family, heritage, and belonging. Gentle text and illustrations highlight everyday joys alongside a sense of place, broadening many children’s understanding of the region beyond headlines. Parents and educators appreciate having an affirming story that centers Palestinian voices for read-alouds and global studies. It’s best for early elementary, though older kids can use it as a prompt for discussion or projects. Pairing the book with maps, music, and food exploration deepens the cultural connection.
