About this listen

“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.

This audiobook is narrated by the author.

Critic reviews

“Nye demonstrates poetry’s ability to vividly portray the lives behind the headlines.” (Publishers Weekly, starred review)

“Incisive and unsparing, Nye's poems will buzz in readers' brains long after reading them.” (Booklist)

“On every page, Shihab Nye's insistent call is the same: people, all people, deserve to live safe and healthy lives, free from fear and violence. She mourns, rages, takes politicians to task, but always lands on the side of compassion.” (Shelf Awareness)
