Mindful Muslim Review

Against the poignant backdrop of the Palestinian struggle, this heartwarming narrative beautifully captures the universal bond between a granddaughter and her grandmother. Their love transcends the barriers of oceans, languages, and even The Iron Wall. Narrated through the innocent eyes of a child, the story not only inspires hope for a better future but also underscores the transformative power of tradition in rooting a child’s sense of belonging to her heritage and history.
