A Journey Along the Coast
On a morning that smells of warm bread, your child wakes up to a surprise: a long trip in the yellow car along the coast! From the walls and aqueduct of Akka, to the squares and gardens of Haifa, the Roman theatre of Caesarea, and the cinemas and clock tower of Yafa, through al-Majdal, all the way to the al-Rimal neighbourhood in Gaza, where cousin Ahmad is waiting… and the sea.
A warm story about belonging, curiosity and family that introduces your child to the cities of the coast and their stories, and gives them roots to carry wherever they are in the world.
