SUMMARY:Palestinian Author Safa Suleiman at Brick and Mortar presenting Hilwa's Gifts
DESCRIPTION:Safa Suleiman and Anait Semirdzhyan\, author and illustrator of HILWA’S GIFTS\n\n\n\nTuesday Apr 1st\, 2025\n\n\n6:30 PM\n\n\n–\n\n\n7:30 PM\n\nKids’ event\n\n Brick & Mortar Books\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJoin us to welcome debut author Safa Suleiman and local illustrator Anait Semirdzhyan as we celebrate the release of their new picture book\, Hilwa’s Gifts! \nABOUT THE BOOK:\nAli has arrived in Palestine for a visit just in time for the olive harvest. His grandfather\, Seedo\, and Hilwa—his favorite tree—greet him in the grove\, where Seedo explains that Hilwa has many gifts to share. Other family members whack the trees’ branches with sticks\, singing “Zaytoon\, ya zaytoon” while cousins clap and dance and happily pick up fallen olives. (Luckily\, a gentle whack is all it takes for Hilwa’s fruits to rain down!) The next day\, at the olive press\, Ali watches the drip of gold liquid into a can\, another of Hilwa’s gifts. Later\, they picnic under the tree’s branches with hot mint tea\, pita\, and delicious olive oil swirled on hummus. Tradition is the greatest gift of all: the family gathering—generation after generation—to celebrate a bountiful harvest. Dynamic illustrations and a graceful text peppered with Arabic words\, plus a glossary and author’s note\, make for an intimate picture-book debut about a child discovering his heritage. \nABOUT THE AUTHOR:\nSafa Suleiman is a Palestinian American educator with more than twenty years of experience in undergraduate and elementary school pedagogy. She now focuses on writing and teaching through storytelling centering the Palestinian and the American Muslim communities. Hilwa’s Gifts is her first book. She lives with her family in Colorado on the homeland of the Ute Nation. \nABOUT THE ILLUSTRATOR:\nAnait Semirdzhyan is the illustrator of Just Us by Molly Beth Griffin\, Bábo: A Tale of Armenian Rug-Washing Day by Astrid Kamalyan\, The Great Banned-Books Bake Sale by Aya Khalil\, and many other acclaimed books for children. Born in Kazakhstan and raised in Armenia\, she now lives in the Seattle area with her husband and twin daughters. \n\n\n

SUMMARY:Tamino
DESCRIPTION:Tamino \n“During a soundcheck at a small Italian festival\, which took place in between the walls of a medieval castle\, I would start playing a newly written song called Babylon. My band\, noticing that something special was happening\, quickly caught on and joined in\, improvising their parts along the way\, following my lead along a nearly 6-minute dynamic journey. By the end of the epic outro we all looked at each other with an excitement that had been absent from our faces for a while. Tour can get repetitive and turn even the most passionate people indifferent\, so injecting a boring soundcheck with the newness and grandeur of Babylon felt great. We played the track for the first time that night and have been playing it ever since. \nGoing into the studio to record my new album\, the song proved to be a cornerstone there as well\, and even though I had been playing it in front of audiences\, getting the right feel on record required many different approaches. The groundwork was laid in an old church turned recording studio in New Orleans. From there it traveled to Brussels and then back to New York. Three monumental cities\, each in their own way modern Babylons. I’m still excited about the release of this song\, even after playing and working on it so much. That means something.”
