Everyone remembers the day of their first kiss, but Liyana will remember hers for other reasons. That’s the day her father told her the family would be leaving St. Louis and moving to Palestine. Habibi is the story of how Liyana adapts to living in a strange country with an unfamiliar language and customs. Naomi Shihab Nye tells how Liyana’s homesickness fades when she meets Omer – and how her life is complicated by her friendship with the Jewish boy. | Habibi by Naomi Shihab Nye, Mass Market Paperback | Indigo Chapters
