Thunderbird volume 1 by Sonia Nimr, translated by M. Lynx Qualey.
Middle grade time travel fantasy from a Palestinian author, set in Palestine.
An interesting, fast-paced adventure that shows a lot in a short book, but be aware it ends on a cliffhanger! Looking forward to book 2.

Muneera and the Moon: Stories Inspired by Palestinian Folklore by @SoniaSulaiman
Debut short story collection! Mostly fantasy with a fabulistic / mythic tone, some science fiction elements. Cohesive, gentle, resonant.

Oh my G--d because February is a shorter month, I need to put in library purchase requests sooner!
Finally decided:
* The Skin and Its Girl by Sarah Cypher
* Chaos, Crossing by Olivia Elias, tr. K.J. Abu-Zeid
* The Leopard Princess: Book I of the Wonderful Somali Nights by M.O. Hadji and Jose Lorenzo Pacheco (picture book - does anyone know what happened to possible sequels?)
