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

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. \n“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.” \n— Miko Peled\, author of The General’s Son: Journey of an Israeli in Palestine\, and Injustice: The Story of the Holy Land Foundation Five \n“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.
