1- History is a big book, held by a mother called Thakira (Memory). Every day, Thakira reads to the children of Palestine. It has tales, stories, epics, and languages.
It also has an orphan, a girl named Buyout (Houses). Buyout would often dream of a land she’d seen in her heart and memory. But then she forgot those tales and began to dream
of a tree she’d remembered, Sidra (Christ’s thorn jujube).
