Six Bridges Book Festival: Razan Abdin

Little Readers Rock

Six Bridges Book Festival presents Razan Abdin (Splendidly Sawsan).

Razan Abdin

Razan Abdin is a Palestinian writer who grew up in Arkansas while spending many summers in her ancestral homeland. She has been scribbling stories since elementary school. When Abdin isn't busy arranging words on a page, she’s probably traveling, filling her life with art, or daydreaming about a world where everyone has what they need to thrive. She lives in Little Rock with her wild, wonderful poodle, Margot. Splendidly Sawsan is her debut book. 
 
Splendidly Sawsan is a story of affirming others and learning to love yourself. This picture books follows Sawsan, a vivacious neurodivergent child who sees the world a little differently—and maybe that’s a pretty splendid thing.
