The front cover of the printed notebook shows two children studying, with the text in the girl's book shown upside down from our perspective so that it faces her; it says "Homeland: Love for the homeland is part of faith. The palm tree is tall. The date is its fruit." There are blank lines for the student's name, school, and class.

The rear cover has a blank table for the student to write out their class schedule, and at the bottom there are unit conversion tables for distance and time (10 millimeters=1 centimeter, 60 seconds=1 minute, etc.), and a multiplication table. At the very bottom is an address and telephone number in Baghdad, Iraq, where more of these books could be purchased.

For #NationalHandwritingDay, a standard student notebook issued by the Iraqi public school system in the 20th century. A Chaldean Catholic priest used the notebook to write a hymn and hagiography for St. Behnam.

A sample of my handwriting. On white notebook paper with a blue grid I wrote, in a bright blue fountain pen ink (the color is called turquoise, but it's really more of a blue IMHO), "I read that today January 23, is National Handwriting Day! I would love to see y'all's handwriting."
