Every single person should be anguished over the news from Rafah, no matter your position on the broader conflict.

In fact, the only future in which Israel is truly & finally secure is one in which both Israeli and Palestinian children are safe & free. Praying for that day.

Finally I have all my character created and together

LUPITA’S HURRICANE PALOMITAS is here! 🥳

Illus by Anastasiya Kanavaliuk & pub by Beaming Books, this story is about choosing kindness, even in the midst of a storm. Lupita channels her worries about a hurricane into caring for baby pigeons who've been knocked from their nest.

I wish I lived closer. Congrats Silvia.
