The book recounts Delisle's year-long trip to Jerusalem with his long-term spouse, Nadège, and their two young children. They arrived in August 2008. Delisle lived in Beit Hanina during his stay in the region.

Before Jerusalem, Delisle had previously written three other graphic novel travelogues. They are, in order of publication: Shenzhen, about his trip to Shenzhen, an economic hub of Southern China; Pyongyang, about his stay in Pyongyang, the capital of The Democratic People's Republic of Korea; and Burma Chronicles, about his stay in Rangoon, the then-capital of Myanmar. He went to Shenzhen and Pyongyang for his work in animation, while he went to Burma to accompany his partner, Nadège, as she did her work for MSF. While in Jerusalem, Delisle again worked primarily as a stay-at-home dad, taking care of their two young children while Nadège was working. When it was released in English in April 2012, it was perhaps Delisle's most-anticipated book.

Delisle uses simple line drawings that are "plain and clean and casual without being sloppy". And although Jerusalem is Delisle's first book to feature color, Delisle uses it only sparingly, to center attention on certain important objects, including maps, loud noises, or memories. In the book, Delisle frequently encounters aspects of the Israeli–Palestinian conflict and depicts arguments from each side without openly divulging where his sympathies lie.
