The Sunbird: Young Readers' Edition

By Sara Haddad

How could a new country be put inside a country that was already there? It's 1948 and Nabila Yasmeen lives a happy life in her village in Palestine. She plays in the hills with her friend Khalil and climbs high in the olive trees to pick the sweetest fruit. But when bombs start falling, Nabila and her family are forced to leave. Where will they go? With beautiful illustrations by renowned Palestinian artist Baraa Awoor, The Sunbird is the poignant story of a little girl who just wants to go home.
