Visual asset. Mauve background. Pale yellow award logo top right corner with “highlights” underneath. Reads, “THE STREET “Kate Rafiq Dune Books” Followed by book cover. Cover is a dusky sky (purples/pinks), orange/purple horizon. Moon low down. Little blob creatures, in black and white, in foreground.

Text against mauve background reads: “The life of a small community comes under threat from a creeping colonising force as it exerts blockades and checkpoints, assaults on civilian infrastructures, damage to resources and, finally, evictions. And yet, this displaced population continues to exist and even thrive by reasserting their traditions, their culture- and, by never losing the hope of return. A timeless allegory on war and displacement which also feels like a very modern parable for our times. Playful, ‘nonsense’ words, endearingly “floopy” anthropomorphic characters and a balmy, sunset palette keep the narrative appropriate for young children’s minds, allowing them to navigate the injustices laid bare by the text safely and, indeed, with some optimism”.

Mauve background. Text reads: Publisher description: “Boo lives with his family, In their house at the end of the street. They’ve lived there for years, They built it from skyblocks and mooncrete. Zig is a teacher, Pax is a nurse, Their love is as wide as the whole universe. Their smoots are flooping with joy, In their house at the end of the street. All is well…except for the dreaded Klang! A lyrical, heart-warming tale about standing up to bullies and staying connected, even when all hope seems lost.”

We may not be running the award in 2026 but we’re still here to celebrate the social justice books published in 2025 which would surely have stood proud on our longlist.

Enjoy our picks of rabble-rousing 2025 titles,starting with: @katerafiq.bsky.social
