| Notes | The story of "Jonah and the Whale" is not only a story in the Bible but also told in the Qu' ran, in which Jonah is called Yunus. The ancient city of Nineveh where Jonah was told to prophesy is located close to the modern-day Iraqi city of Mosul.
Explore Mosul through the eyes of Noor; visiting the tomb of Jonah, which is now a mosque; talking about a window in her home, damaged by bombs dropped in the most recent war in Iraq; playing hide and seek on a family trip to castle ruins; buying and eating fresh baked bread at the local bakery; and helping prepare dolma, Noor's favorite food. Grades K to 5. Teacher's guide included. |
