I’m closed to queries right now but if you’re a Palestinian kid lit creator that A.) writes magical middle grade or B.) is an author-illustrator and would like to query me let me know and I’ll send you a QM referral link. 👌🏼

Another proud book aunty moment 💖

Pre-order your copy now! I just did!

So excited to share some of my advance review copies with my dearest critique group! This group (not all pictured!) are the light in my author journey! So grateful for them! Couldn’t be where I am without these wonderful writers and illustrators who make my writing so much…

Please help spread the word and donate if you can!

Thank you! And huge thanks to Joyce Sweeney (they/them) Buy OUR WORLD ARGENTINA and Emma Ledbetter for guiding this process!

As of today, there are about half a dozen books being sold on Amazon, with my name on them, that I did not write or publish. Some huckster generated them using AI. This promises to be a serious problem for the book publishing world. janefriedman.com/i-would-rather…

One of the best articles I've read.

So this happened yesterday!😍😭

I couldn't stop thinking of this book's long journey and all the people who helped shape this story.
And finally, the girls who inspired this book.
How I wished to have each and every one of you with me to celebrate!
Huge THANKS to all of you!

Coming soon: new projects from @aliaabetawi, Sarah Glenn Marsh 🌈 isn’t here, Leila Boukarim Writes + more pwne.ws/3NCc6OY

I’ve been doing the #3materialsdrawingchallenge on instagram for the past 5 weeks. 3 materials are used for a 30 minute sketch. It has been a great excuse to play. Playing is so important. And it’s been a welcome distraction as I wait on responses to queries. #kidlitart #sketch

This time next week you can finally see my Knobbly Bottom!!! My debut children's book about a very weird village is out with Scholastic UK on 6th July!!
