Palestine in YA Arabic literature

As a companion list to “Children's Books on Palestine: Beyond Erasure and Censorship” we bring you a list of books about Palestine for young readers in Arabic, kindly curated by Taghreed Najjar, author of children’s and YA books. These books have either been written for a YA audience in mind, or are books that YA readers would find formative. Beyond the political element present in these novels and memoirs, love, search for identity, and a sense of adventure and excitement are evident in these books, whether contemporary or canon-like.
