April is Arab American Heritage Month, and the Read Palestine! team is honored to celebrate the stories, histories, and voices of Arab and Palestinian authors with you.

Books open doors. They build empathy. They help young people see both themselves and the wider world reflected in powerful and human ways. This month, we invite you to explore and share literature that uplifts Arab American experiences and perspectives.

We are happy to share these two book lists, which include many award-winning titles to discover:

The Ultimate Guide: Children’s Books That Celebrate Arab Heritage

Read Palestine! Arab Heritage Book List 

We encourage you to request these books at your local library or purchase them from a local bookstore, bring them into classrooms, share them with book clubs, and gift them to young readers.

Thank you for reading, sharing, and standing in solidarity,
