A Feeling Called Lebanon

By (author) Layla Yussef Itani; Illustrated by Reine Jalloul
A Feeling Called Lebanon is an invitation for children to experience emotions through the lens of home, and for the adults who read with them to hold space for conversation, curiosity, and care. It blends poetic language with storytelling, following a family as they travel across Lebanon. Seen through the mind and heart of a curious child, exploring the world through her many senses, the Lebanese landscape, history, and culture become moments of joy, nostalgia, wonder, and calm. In this book, Lebanon is a feeling waiting to be named.
