Habibti Pada : Yalla

By Ameen Beydoun

Habibti, Pada follows a 10-year-old African immigrant as she navigates her scary, fantastical new home. Set in the Levant, the bulk of each episode is without dialogue: we hear Arabicbut (like Pada) we don't have the luxury of subtitles! To make things worse, a single magical event breaks the realism in each episode. Giant birds, ogre chefs, and ugly djinns threaten Pada and her new friends. Fear not! Across each episode, Pada hears a new Arabic word that will eventually help fight the monster. Together, we build our vocabulary and understanding of this magical new world...
