A children’s book - “Cookies and Crescents, an Eid Story” featuring a little girl holding a plate of cookies.
Things are just terrible right now - but this made my day. @nadawrites.bsky.social was my student at GWU nearly 20 years ago, and now her first children’s book COOKIES AND CRESCENTS will be out on March 4, and I am so, so proud of her. ❤️
