Arabic for "Hurry Up, Love," Yalla Habibi is all about a personal exploration of Arab American identity. This condensed, illustrated chapbook of poems is written in 3arabeezi, or Arabish-- mostly English with some Arabic words (and a fun glossary is included to help out!) (( Did she say fun glossary?! Yes! It has jokes.)) These poems comment on growing up with family history that can often be at odds with growing up American, as well as figuring out who you can be when belonging to multiple cultures. And there's art to go along with it all!
