Welcome to our second installment of AAWW Recess, our new series of programming dedicated to creating a space of whimsy, play, and dreaming at a time when literature, especially for young people, is undergoing a harrowing battle against bans and erasure. Today, we spoke with S.K. Ali, finalist for the American Library Association’s 2018 William C. Morris Award and winner of the APALA Honor Award and Middle East Book Honor Award. Her new novel, “Love from Mecca to Medina” is out tomorrow on October 18. You can find it at bookstores near you, or purchase it here: bookshop.org/p/books/love-fro...
