There’s no money to keep libraries open on the weekend but there’s at least 11 billion dollars to fund the police to do this?!?! Clocked it!
So they've turned a dozen blocks - a whole NYC neighborhood - into a fully locked down police zone to repress a small number of nonviolent students. Shame on Columbia. Shame on the NYPD. Shame on Eric Adams & Governor Hochul. Shame on CCNY.
I can't express how wonderful the @HighlightsFound is and my appreciation for the way they support #kidlit creators. I'm grateful to be a recipient of an in-community retreat scholarship this summer. Looking forward to writing more fantastical stories! highlightsfoundation.org/2024/04/25/hig…

Stopped by Rowayton Library today and was happy to see a @valerie_bolling title on display (with two more on the shelf).
Book news! I wrote a story about friendship for immigrant kids, ESL kids, curious kids, kind kids, all kids. So grateful for my agent @TanusriPrasanna, my Editor @ZareenJaffery, Art Director Asiya Ahmed and the team at @KokilaBooks for all their encouragement and support. 💚

A college history professor once told me, " Palestine is an invented identity. You're really Jordanian. There's no such thing as Palestine." Wish I could send him this, with my book on the 4th shelf. #ProudToBePalestinian #Palestine
