Book of Rajab is a collection of illustrated short stories that all unfold within a single day: the first of Rajab, the midpoint of the Hijri calendar, and the official (if inaccurate) birthday shared by many Saudis born before 1975.
From sunrise to sunrise, eight stories intertwine in a city remembered across generations, Jeddah.
Narrated by a jahanammiyya flower, the book explores themes of loss, memory, taste, and migration, all layered with cultural nuance and visual storytelling.
A narrative experience that rearranges nostalgia giving Jeddah a language of its own.
