My mama had wanted to buy me something nice. I went for Jonny Appleseed, a great Indigenous queer tale, and anthology compiled by Susan Abulhawa. In 2024, she entered Gaza twice and gave writing workshop to Palestinian youths to write their own experiences. So, thank you, mama.
ALT A photo of two books. One is Jonny Appleseed by Joshua Whitehead, with the cover black and adorned by an artwork of a red bison studded with glitter. The other is Every Moment is a Life: Gaza in the Time of Genocide. The cover depicts a painting of Palestinian refugees, one has an orange cat on their head. The books are presented on a keffiyeh and a colorful woven scarf.
