The Tiny Journalist is the fifth BOA title by renowned poet Naomi Shihab Nye. This is Nye’s first full-length adult poetry collection since Transfer (BOA, 2011). All of her previous titles continue to be among BOA’s bestsellers.
HOT TOPIC: This book gives a nuanced, in-depth look at the Israeli-Palestinian conflict from the perspective of a Palestinian-American poet known for her advocacy for peace between all nations.
Acclaimed author with strong national/international appeal: Naomi Shihab Nye is a well-known and highly regarded poet and children's book author whose work has won numerous awards and who has lectured extensively throughout the U.S. and abroad. She has been interviewed by PBS NewsHour, On Being with Krista Tippett, Bill Moyers, and others. She also served as a Chancellor for the Academy of American Poets from 2010–2015.
Book publication will coincide with 50th anniversary of the end of the 1948 Arab–Israeli War and the 1949 Armistice Agreements.
The Tiny Journalist draws heavy inspiration from the reporting of Janna Tamini, a twelve-year-old girl known as “the youngest journalist in Palestine” and one of the youngest reporters in the world. Tamini reports on protests in the West Bank via social media and lives in the same area as Nye’s family – a place the poet has often visited.
Nye, author of award-winning children’s books, evokes empathy for the young people and families caught in the ongoing Palestinian-Israeli conflict.
