book cover for My Brother, My Land, featuring a cream background and two photos, one to the top right of the cover featuring a springtime neighborhood in Palestine, with flowers and greenery lining a wide path.

The Next New Syrian Girl

Book cover for Determined to Stay. The title is written in gold capital letters against a black background. The cover illustration is in a rectangle below the title, framed by the same black background; it depicts a woman standing on the first step of a ladder and turning to face the viewer as she holds up a paintbrush to a large statue of an upstretched fist holding a key, all wrapped in barbed wire. On the ground beside the ladder is a young girl in a hijab, also holding a paintbrush

Determined to Stay

book cover for Shad Hadid and the alchemists of Alexandria, featuring an adventurous illustration with bright golds and dark shadows pf a young boy with a mass of curly hair and a long robe billowing in the wind. He holds a hand up and out, blasting a swirl of golden light from it that curls through the image to reach a shadowy figure at the bottom left that holds up it's spectral hands either in threat, or to ward away the golden light coming toward it

Shad Hadid and the alchemists of Alexandria

April: Poetry Month

book cover for Spectral Evidence, featuring a painting in subdued grays, browns, blacks, and tans of a seated Black person, slightly hunched and gazing slightly down, with a beige cloth wrapped around their head.

Spectral Evidence

book cover for Tanya, featuring a photo of a unglazed red clay figurine of a human figure sitting with their legs folded to the side and one arm propping them up as they lean. Their other arm holds a wide dish over their lap. The neck and head of the figure are missing.

Brenda Shaughnessy

book cover for Just Another Epic Love poem, featuring a photo of two dark haired girls leaning towards each other to kiss. The photo is broken up into irregular rectangular bars, as if each chunk of image is a redacted censor bar obscuring a word in a page full of text. The effect makes it seem as if the title and author's name are the only words not redacted by clips of the overall photo.

Just Another Epic Love Poem

book cover for An Impossible Thing To Say, featuring a dark red background with white title text. The word 'impossible' is in a more handwritten style of font than the rest of the title, and extends beyond the rectangular border that frames the book cover. The bottom of the book cover, including that rectangular border, is obscured by a mass of arabesque flowers and plants, amidst which sits a beautifully illustrated boom box lit by sunlight

An Impossible Thing to Say

Aniana del Mar Jumps In, featuring an illustration of a black girl with curly natural hair in a pony tail, wearing a one piece swimsuit in shades of blue. An expanse of blue water and lighter blue sky spreads out behind her, and orange trees bear fruit to either side of her. A silver Pura Belpré Author Honor Award medal covers part of the image
