never take freedom of the press or access to news for granted. www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/8/...

BBC International Editor Jeremy Bowen has confirmed that the entire Al Jazeera team in Gaza City has been killed.

"60K Gazans have been killed," in both number and passive voice, might as well be genocide denial at this point. I don't think that's edgy to say. It's way more than that number and we straightforwardly know who's doing it

This is so beautiful @yiawrites.bsky.social

If you’re looking for something to do this summer, my sister always loved geocaching. 💚

There is no food in Gaza. Please share this and bear witness is nothing else. People are eating leaves to survive but everyone is suffering immensely. The children. The elderly. The new mothers. The husbands and sons and brothers getting shot at just to try to get “aid”.

We have failed as humans.

If you’ve ever wanted to read a book about a Palestinian haunted house that fights back against its occupiers—and the three generations of Palestinian women who are connected to it—then be on the lookout for Deena Helm’s debut!

Coming to you in Sept 2026 from Tor Nightfire! 🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸

You’re amazing for putting this together!

Never thought I would get to share this but we are $400 away from fundraising the last amount needed for Mariam to evacuate.

Thank you so much to everyone who has donated, boosted, and cheered this on! You’re all incredible!

Donate to get us to the final amount:

I’d love to see an adaptation of Poison Garden! #kidlitchat

One of my favorite reads growing up!

“The Great British Bake Off” x “The Salt Princess”

Royals aren’t supposed to bake, but Princess Amira can’t help but sneak into the kitchen. When a grumpy king comes to visit, will Amira’s treats win him over? Or will she barred from baking forever? #bluepit #picturebook #PB

This sounds so funny!

Haha!

Good to know! Appreciate the response and hope you’re well.

“Poison Garden” x “The Wild Book”

At the end of a deserted street, sits an abandoned library. New to town, Salma decides to visit only to discover something strange: the library is alive. Can she convince her neighbors to save the Forgotten Library before it’s too late? #bluepit #PB #picturebook

This sounds terrific

Love this!

Hi, Ruqayyah! I was at the SCBWI editors & agents day conf with you back in May. I didn’t get a chance to ask you then, so asking now: could you share more of your MSWL for picture books?
