They Called Me a Lioness: A Palestinian Girl's Fight for Freedom by Dena Takruri, Ahed Tamimi

challenging emotional reflective medium-paced

5.0

This book was heartbreaking, informative, well written, and easy to read. Following Ahed as she grows up in a world under constant threat of violence and danger due to the Israeli occupation, all the way through her experiences in prison and beyond, it is a tale of Palestinian resistance by a child who was far too young to have had to experience anything in the book, but as she clearly points out she is not the only one this has happened to. A critical story to have in the world today, it had me laughing and crying (sometimes at the same time) throughout the book.
