I want to first thank @pharazonsbeard.bsky.social for letting me know about these books.

And second, I’m just glad that others will get a chance to read them too now 😊

Hello #Tolkien Community,

Today’s 6th raffle prize reveal is slightly different. We want to not only raise money to help Gaza, but also to bring attention to amazing Palestinian writers like Rifk Ebeid and her work.

Entry to win these two books and more in the quoted Tiltify link below. (1/2)

A children’s book called “Baba, What Does My Name Mean. A Journey To Palestine.” Written by Rifk Ebeid and illustrated by Lamaa Jawhari. The front cover depicts a young Palestinian girl holding a key on her left hand and a piece of land over head. The land has some trees and building.

Another children’s book called “Kamal’s Key.” Written by Rifk Ebeid and illustrated by Sophia Soliman. The front cover depicts a giant key with an old man sitting on it while looking down at a little girl holding on to the key with her left hand.

All I know is that what gets me through the Monday blues and a long work week is lots of coffee, any #TheRingsOfPower news/crumbs, and reading amazing/creative fan fic by this talented community. Preferably with a bottle of First Age wine 😁
