devrose 's review for:

The Tiny Journalist by Naomi Shihab Nye
5.0
challenging dark emotional informative reflective medium-paced

This is an amazingly powerful poetry collection. I would probably had rated it higher if I had a better grasp of poetry. The poems that hit me the hardest were "Exotic Animals, Book for Children," "Dareen Said Resist," "Gaza Is Not Far Away (Dr. Luke Peterson)," "Freedom of Speech (What the head-of-school told me)", "America Gives Israel Ten Million Dollars a Day," "The Space We're In," "A Palestinian Might Say," and "Rumor Mill."
