Under Fire by @sufiyaahmed is a beautiful, moving and accessible book about an Anglo-Indian boy who is sent to India during WW2. It shines a light on our shared history, including the human-made Bengal Famine and the Jallianwala Bagh massacre and the struggle for freedom.

Tiger’s Last Roar by @HarrietHoweBks & Katie Cottle is a gorgeous, sensitively written story that help little pet-lovers struggling with losing a friend. A reminder that although a beloved pet can’t live forever, treasured memories always will.

Everyone needs to read A MAP FOR FALASTEEN by Maysa Odeh and Aliaa Betawi. Heartbreaking and heart-expanding, it’s a beautifully written and stunningly illustrated love letter to Palestinian identity. 🇵🇸 💛
