Alice Rothchild, Old Enough to Know - FREE MIDDLE GRADE EVENT!
Bellingham | Updated: March 29, 2024 12:52 AM
Location: Village Books and Paper Dreams
Address: 1200 11th Street, Bellingham, WA 98225
Date: 8 Jun
Nine-year-old Mohammed Omar Mohammed Abu Srour and his 16-year-old sister move to a new city where they face a challenging first week of school. Their grandmother grounds them in her story: from a peasant village in Palestine, struggling for survival in Aida Refugee Camp, Bethlehem, to coming to the US.
"It unapologetically and truthfully weaves the story of Palestine, then and now, through the life young Mohammad who lives in America. A great book for young people."
— Miko Peled, author of The General's Son: Journey of an Israeli in Palestine, and Injustice: The Story of the Holy Land Foundation Five
"More than a story of children struggling to be accepted into a new school, this tale weaves in their family history in another land, a dark narrative of loss and dispossession that also forms their identity. Poignant and heartbreaking, it is a story of reckoning with the past, while trying to navigate the present, in a world that does not understand."
— Fida Jiryis, author of Stranger in My Own Land
