award-winning palestinian children's illustrator baraa awoor writes:

"what use is it to be an illustrator of children's books when the world has sentenced the children of your country to the death penalty, to vanish, to genocide?"

some of baraa's illustrations:

this is an illustration for youssef, whose mother is remembered running desperately into the hospital asking if anyone had seen a "small white boy with beautiful curly hair, his name is youssef," a description which was remembered by millions when she finally identified his body:

this illustration is for young omar, who was hugging his little brother and teaching him how to repeat the shahada after him (a prayer spoken by muslims before their death) as he lay on his hospital bed:

"we want a new year that doesn't kill us or our children, we want it a year without blood, without screaming, without pain, we want a new attempt to get our lives back, or something that resembled our life, even if life is a lie we still cling to it, return life to us—a new year's card unlike any other year:"

The only thing Israel needs to do is throw "Hamas" in the middle of any sentence and that magically makes whatever comes next in the sentence completely acceptable.

These monsters publish tweets announcing an operation that aims to displaces millions of people and kill thousands more and all you hear from the international community is crickets, thanks to the random mention of "Hamas" somewhere in there.

Israel doesn't even feel the need to dig for justifications any more. That's the level of unaccountability this terrorist entity enjoys.

I don't take pics of strangers on the street but I had to capture this magical moment of a frazzled mail carrier being followed by a gang of wild turkeys that thought he was very handsome so I drew it instead. Enjoy.

Sure, #weneeddiversebooks so that my future kids know they can be heroes…

…but we also need diverse books so that white readers know my kids can be heroes, too.
