Children's publishing is a cess pit rn. Here we have the usual suspects beginning their attacks on another children's author. (Not me this time.) I implore you all to call these toxic people out and complain to *their* agents & publishers.

I could not be more furious about what has happened to onjali rauf . #bekind #beinclusive. Except if an uppity Muslim woman disagrees. Then as an oh so LIBERAL white woman you can lecture her on where she's going wrong. THAT'S WHITE PRIVILEGE

We need a reset in the publishing world. Inclusion and diversity has to include diversity of view. As Salman Rushdie said, without the freedom to offend, free speech does not exist. I admire onjali rauf’s work with refugees - she has a right to speak her truth. 1/

Calling Hachette Children's Group! A huge hooray and pat on the back for for publishing the wonderful @onjalirauf's #HopeOnTheHorizon. Looking forwards to meeting all the real-life heroes and sheroes inside :) (& pls ignore the petty-minded, and those intolerant of multicultural inclusion)
