DESCRIPTION:At this time of genocide against Palestinians in Gaza, when courageous 
 protests at campuses across the country are under assault by police, when 
 the urgent need for a whole new and fundamentally different system cries 
 out, Revolution Books is proud to host this event.\n\nAs bedtime 
 approaches, three young girls eagerly await the return of their father, who 
 tells them stories of a faraway homeland—of Palestine. Through their 
 father’s memories, and the beautiful illustrations by Reem Madooh, the 
 Old City of Jerusalem comes to life: the sounds of juice vendors beating 
 rhythms with brass cups, the smell of argileh drifting through windows, and 
 the sight of doves flapping their wings toward home. These daughters of the 
 diaspora feel love for a place they have never been, a home they cannot 
 visit. But, as their father’s story comes to an end, they know that 
 through his memories they will always return.\n\nHannah Moushabeck is a 
 second-generation Palestinian American who was raised in a family of 
 booksellers and publishers in Massachusetts and England. In a recent 
 interview she said, “My family was ethnically cleansed from Palestine in 
 1948 during what the Palestinians called the Nakba, when over 700,000 
 Palestinians were displaced from their ancestral land. I grew up with 
 stories of Palestine and have grown up fighting for a free Palestine as my 
 parents did before me. I have family in Ramallah and the West Bank. And I 
 have friends in Gaza."\n\nHer book, Homeland: My Father Dreams of Palestine 
 is available here.\n
