In a village of hills wrapped in olive trees, a young boy spends his days feeding his beloved chickens—Lulu, Sham‘a, Zahra, Samra, and Hummus. His world is filled with family, warm bread, stories, and the familiar rhythms of home.
The Chickens of Ein Karem is a tender illustrated story about Palestine, displacement, memory, and the extraordinary way love for a place can survive through storytelling.
Written and illustrated by Jasmine Hawamdeh, the book is inspired by the memories we inherit from those who came before us—and the responsibility to carry them forward.
