Maysa Odeh

Writer Nubeocho

Maysa Odeh is a Palestinian writer who grew up between Amman, Jordan and the United States. Her debut picture book was written during the assault on Gaza in 2021, which sparked a conversation between herself and her inner child.

Un mapa para Palestina (A Map for Falesteen in English) answers the questions she was too shy to ask as a child of Palestinian refugees. Maysa resides in California with her four-year-old daughter, Malak, who asks questions all day long in Arabic and English, and sometimes even in her sleep.
