A heartbreaking picture of living as a Palestinian in the West Bank, this book takes you on a winding journey through a man's life full of sadness, regret, and ambiguity told through the narrative of bus crash that involves a kindergarten class.
As a mom of a kindergartener, this is the most heartbreaking book I read all year, particularly because it goes through the frustratingly difficult history between Palestine and Israel and demonstrates how every small daily element of life a free person takes for granted is not offered in the West Bank.
