By Sean RudayWhen I was in middle school, I loved playing running back in playground football games. An avid football fan, I examined the tactics of the great NFL running backs I saw on television and then tried to use those same strategies when playing football with my classmates at recess. For example, after I watched Detroit Lions’ running back Barry Sanders spin past defenders, I worked to implement his incredible spin move in my own games.

The recent attack on a military installation in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) by the Hafiz Gul Bahadur faction of the TTP serves as a stark reminder of the persistent threat posed by militant organizations operating across Pakistan’s borders.

As a neurodiverse South Asian American reader, I find that most of the books I read make me feel split in half: I get to read books either about neurodiverse characters or about South Asian American characters, but rarely characters like me who identify as both. Consequently, I was delighted to discover the middle-grade novel Drawing Deena (Salaam Reads/Simon & Schuster, Feb. 6), which features a neurodiverse, Muslim, Pakistani American protagonist and recently received a starred Kirkus review.

by Aisha Saeed ; illustrated by LeUyen Pham ‧ When Rumi moves to a brand-new coast, friendship feels hard to find. Although he is assigned the best seat in the room—right next to the class pets—brown-skinned Rumi still feels unwelcome and out of place in his new school. At recess, instead of playing with his diverse classmates, he sits beneath a willow tree in the schoolyard, dreaming of the cypress trees he loved back home in San Francisco.
