Pre-orders begin shipping on August 12, 2025

Everything Grows in Jiddo’s Garden is the story of a young Palestinian girl and her Jiddo–her grandfather.

Jiddo’s garden is a wonder. In it grows so many amazing things–to see, smell, and taste. But helping him to tend the garden teaches this young girl about even more than fig trees. It gives her a chance to discover just who she is.

Many years ago, like so many Palestinians, her family was forced to leave their homeland. But Jiddo shows her how, until they can return, tending a garden can connect them to home–and to each other!

This heartwarming debut picture book by Jenan Matari explores themes of displacement, belonging, and an enduring connection to the land. With stunning illustrations by Aya Ghanameh, it’s a poignant celebration of love, identity, and hope.
