Tasting the Sky: A Palestinian Childhood by Ibtisam Barakat

4.0

I read this for my multicultural lit class and liked the insight it provided into the Palestine/Israeli conflict. It's focus is the 1967 war, but there are a lot of things that still happen today. I LOVED how Ibtisam talked about how language and writing were her "escape" - she talks about the letter A as if it was a friend because learning the alphabet opened a whole new world.
