“A perfect gift, coffee table book, or tool for discussions by adults and children about today’s global refugee and migration crises, “Rest in My Shade” is a thoughtful and thought-provoking browse that will have immense and enduring appeal fo students of poetry, art, and Palestinian history. The reader will come away from “Rest in My Shade” with newly inspired awareness of the universality of the tragic experience of displacement. In this era of Forever Wars and ‘Build the Wall’ politics, “Rest in My Shade” is a welcome counterpoint in our national dialogue and unreservedly recommended for personal reading lists, as well as family, community, and academic library collections.”
