Ibitisam Barakat is the protagonist in Tasting the Sky. She is a young Palestinian girl who must live through the struggles of the 6 days war and many other conflicts with her family.

Ibitisam is a very brave, resourceful, and intelligent girl who finds light in the darkest of circumstances, even though she is a young child.
This story really shows me that no matter what I'm going through, there are people in the world, sometimes even younger than me, that have much bigger problems and I need to get over mine. Hope this helps!
Often a character will include something that is bothering them or something that is recurring in order for the reader to understand why the character acts the way they do or to get a sense of why they are feeling a certain way. In this case, this may also be a foreshadow into what might occur later in the novel.
