"Beautifully illustrated and text that comes from the heart and connects us to the land in a touching way."
Dr. Mazin Qumsiyeh, Professor and Author
"Rifk Ebeid has written a lyrical, celebrative journey around the names and places that were and continue to be Palestine in the hearts of millions. Focusing on deliciousness and the sweetness of presence, she carries me back to my Palestinian father's bedtime tales - as the story unfolds. Miraculously, she makes it all rhyme. So many people will appreciate this precious tasty book and want to pass it on and on."
Naomi Shihab Nye, Author of Habibi
"Join Saamidah and her Dove of Peace, Salam on this enchanted journey across the land of historic Palestine. As Saamidah rediscovers her Palestinian roots, her ancestral homeland becomes a tangible place, rife with life and hope. Rifk Ebeid's "Baba, What Does My Name Mean" is an enjoyable, yet profound representation of Palestine that will help children trace their Palestinian identity and heritage in an unforgettable way. At a time that mainstream media is deliberately assigning Palestine and her people with negative associations, damaging undertones and harmful stereotypes, Ebeid's book is a refreshing reminder of a people's spirit that cannot be suppressed. This beautiful book is a gentle whisper of hope, pure in its intentions, and compelling in its underlying, unmistakable meaning."
Ramzy Baroud, Palestinian Author and Journalist
