estinian writer who grew up in Arkansas \;while \;spending many su
mmers in her ancestral homeland. She has been scribbling stories since ele

Splendidly Sawsan \;is a story of affirmin

p\;follows Sawsan\, a vivacious neurodivergent child who sees the world a
little differently&mdash\;and maybe that&rsquo\;s a \;pretty splendid&
nbsp\;thing. \;
