I am publishing a book of lesser-known lullabies, arranged for harp, to be sold to raise funds for Palestine and fight cultural erasure.

 New stretch target

If we go beyond our target, we will print in higher quality and a bigger run so that the music book is more widely available.


I have created a beautiful book of lesser known lullabies to be played on the harp, taught to me by friends around the world.

The book is illustrated by the Scottish Palestinian artist Dima Nowarah, who has kindly donated her time to this project to provide gorgeous artwork for the front cover and to help me with the formatting of the book.

The twenty lullabies are accessible to be played on lever or pedal harps, from easy to intermediate level. There are three Palestinian lullabies, plus lullabies from Norway, Germany, West Africa, India, Scotland, Japan, Kurdistan, Brittany, Spain, Cherokee Nation, Ireland, Wales and England.

I need your help to get the book published and subsequent sales will all go to Palestinian charities. The three primary purposes of the book are to make music from around the world accessible to harpists, to raise funds for the people of Palestine and to take a firm stand against all forms of cultural erasure, in particular what is happening right now in Palestine.
