This post is a little different from the usual, but I wanted to keep track of all the incredible books I’ve seen and been recommended lately. This started with my involvement in the Streamers for PCRF events organized by Sinarynn and Kyuneho. They created this incredible Reading Raid Train (among other events) to have two full days of streamers sharing and uplifting Palestinian voices by reading childrens books on stream.

So many book recommendations have been shared by the organizers and participants of this event and I’ve also received recommendations through Twitter, Instagram, and talking to peers. In this post I’ll compile (most of) the book recommendations I’ve gotten. I hope this inspires you to pick one up!

More about Streamers for PCRF

This effort to raise funds and awareness was organized by Kyuneho and Sinarynn. They aimed to create a way for streamers of any size and experience level to join together to make a positive impact. This series of events has been and is an opportunity for streamers to educate themselves, raise awareness, mobilize their communities, and contribute aid.

The three main events, a Charity Raid Train, Reading Raid Train, and Gaming Collaboration Raid Train have all included charity streaming in support of Palestine Children’s Relief Fund (PCRF), a Palestinian humanitarian organization that provides medical aid to those in need, particularly those impacted by the violence “Israel” is currently responsible for in Gaza. You can check out our Tiltify page for donation information.
