Coloring Palestine was born out of love — for Palestinian art, heritage, and the sacred right to remember. Created by Palestinian sisters Roula Haddad & Rita Haddad, each book is filled with original designs inspired by the timeless beauty of tatreez and ceramics, reimagined as colouring pages to preserve and celebrate Palestinian identity. This book took over a year to bring to life — gathered from stories, patterns, and history passed down through generations.
Each page holds intricacy. Each motif carries memory. Each line is a quiet act of resistance. A tribute to the hands that came before us. And an offering to the ones still holding on. Find calm, connection, and purpose in every page.
At Ilhaam, we’ve walked the sunlit alleyways of Jerusalem, stood before the olive groves of Nablus, and held the stories of Palestine in every handmade tile, every embroidered thread. We’ve seen its beauty — not just in its landscapes, but in its people, its art, its unwavering spirit. That’s why this collaboration with Coloring Palestine means so much to us. It’s more than a book — it’s a tribute to a heritage that refuses to be erased. Each page is filled with memory and meaning, a quiet resistance wrapped in beauty. We believe Palestinian art deserves to be seen, shared, and celebrated — and this is our way of helping it live on.
