Rhonda Roumani, a Syrian American journalist and author, discusses her debut middle grade novel, Tagging Freedom, which tells the story of a Syrian boy and his Syrian-American cousin during the start of the Syrian Revolution. The book explores themes of protest, activism, and the power of art, specifically graffiti, as a form of expression and resistance. She also talks about her path to getting an agent and getting her book published.

From the publisher: Out of the revolutions across the Arab world comes this inspirational story of hope, freedom, and belonging, perfect for fans of Other Words for Home and A Good Kind of Trouble.
