Mona Yahia attended a launch at the Babylonian Heritage Centre in Or Yehuda, as well as other events in Tel Aviv to mark the publication of the Hebrew translation of her novel, When the Grey Beetles Took Over Baghdad last month. Published by Kinneret, the Hebrew translation of When the Grey Beetles Took Over Baghdad was made possible by the generous support of Dangoor Education.
