Klappentext

**In this picture book follow-up to A Map for Falasteen, young Falasteen journeys to Palestine for the first time, experiencing both the beauty and unexpected challenges of being in her homeland.

**Falasteen and her parents are on their way to Palestine just like Falasteen has always dreamed!

First, she needs a passport, which has her looooong name written on it. Then, they start their journey, which is far from easy-the plane ride is almost as long as her name; there's a scary guard at the border crossing, who turns Baba away; and it's hard for Mama and Falasteen to figure out which streets they're allowed to drive on.

But when they finally arrive in Baba's village, Falasteen makes a new friend-and when he hears her long name, he tells her about grandfather, and her great-grandfather, and her great-great-grandfather, who all lived here and whose names she carries with her. And Falasteen finally starts to feel at home.
