Book Feature
Dear Sondos by Sondos Al-Saqqa and DNL @dnlreads
@publishingcarcazan

Wars, genocide and tropes aim to erase and separate. Not for Davie and Sondos. Their unlikely connection transcends borders, politics, religion and nationalities with their nost powerful weapon: humanity. And a love of donuts. Their journey invites you as a guest, and offers a blueprint for a new world, challenging old narratives with a new song.

Thank you DNL

Thank you to @dnlreads for kindly sending me a copy of her beautiful book Dear Sondos - a conversation between Davie (dnl) and Sondos Al-Saqqa, a Palestinian living in Gaza. These are correspondences between New York and Gaza. During a time of genocide.

I am honored to not only share stories of those living through these times, but to, in some very small way, show my solidarity with Palestine. We will never stop listening, and never stop sharing your stories. You will NOT be silenced.

Free Palestine.

Celebrating stories, cultures, and the power of words at the Multicultural Book Fair! 🌍❤️

As an author, I’m incredibly grateful to be part of a space that brings diverse voices, unique perspectives, and beautiful stories together. Every book has a story to tell, and every culture has a voice worth hearing.

Here’s to celebrating diversity, connecting through literature, and inspiring readers of all ages. 📖✨
