1 post | 2 read | 6 to read
Gifted with a mind that continues to impress the elders in his village, Ichmad Hamid struggles with the knowledge that he can do nothing to save his friends and family. Living on Occupied land, his entire village operates in constant fear of losing their homes, jobs and belongings. But more importantly, they fear losing each other. On Ichmad''s twelfth birthday, that fear becomes reality. With his father imprisoned, his family''s home and possessions confiscated, and his siblings quickly succumbing to hatred in the face of conflict. Ichmad begins an inspiring journey using his intellect to save his poor and dying family. In doing so he reclaims a love for others that was lost through a childhood rife with violence, and discovers a new hope for the future.

This journey was amazing. I was pulled instantly and shared in all of Hamid's struggles and accomplishments. And what is so striking to me is that it is written by a Jewish American. It just shows her level of empathy and honesty when she writes about the atrocities toward Israeli Arabs. #Palestine #ReadingAsia2021 @BarbaraBB @Librarybelle
