“A moving testament to the impact one person can have and the
devastating effects of occupation.” —Washington Post Best
Poetry Books of 2019 Internationally beloved poet Naomi Shihab Nye
places her Palestinian American identity center stage in her latest
full-length poetry collection for adults. The collection is
inspired by the story of Janna Jihad Ayyad, the "Youngest
Journalist in Palestine," who at age 7 began capturing videos of
anti-occupation protests using her mother's smartphone. Nye draws
upon her own family's roots in a West Bank village near Janna's
hometown to offer empathy and insight to the young girl's
reporting. Long an advocate for peaceful communication across all
boundaries, Nye’s poems in The Tiny Journalist put a human face
on war and the violence that divides us from each other.
