I Remember Beirut

Love the illustrations and got to learn some very interesting details about life in Lebanon during their civil war.

This needs to be paired with Game for Swallows for full context. I like that this book was a generalized quick snapshot of Zeina's life during the war and a little bit of how it shaped her after. We see some of the same community members again - Chucri & Ernest - and meet a few others like Mr. George that helped her family daily.
