Loved every minute in New York! Thank you @penamerica for inviting me and opening the door to understanding the transformative power of graphic novels! Big shout out to @jenniferlholm @matthewholm @robinhaart and moderator @studiojjk for a wonderful panel!
🥳 Huda F Would Love You? is a Junior Library Guild Gold Selection! Per their website, “JLG Gold Standard Selections are picked based on merit—so you can trust that books in your membership will represent the very best new titles available.”
Alhamdulilah this means a whole lot more libraries will have access to this book and I hope this inspires readers to pick up the rest of the series!
HFWLY comes out October 20, 2026 inshaAllah and is available for preorder in both paperback and hardcover wherever books are sold! 💜🪻
