Yalla! Storytime (يلا ستوريتايم), led by Curator Wafa Ghnaim at the Museum of the Palestinian People, is a monthly storytelling program designed for children ages 4 and up. Each session features a thoughtfully selected book that illuminates Palestinian history, culture, and traditions, offering young readers a window into the richness of Palestinian heritage. Through the power of storytelling, children will engage with narratives that foster imagination, cultural appreciation, and a deepened connection to identity and belonging.

As part of Gaza Remains the Story, Yalla! Storytime invites young audiences to explore the cultural heritage of Gaza through story and art. Curator Wafa Ghnaim will lead a special reading of “A Map for Falasteen: A Palestinian Child’s Search for Home” by Maysa Odeh, inspecting maps in the museum space and learning geography. The session will conclude with creative expression through coloring sheets in TATREEZ BEAUTY: A Coloring Book.
