His work has appeared on Newsweek.com, Slate.com, CBSNews.com, MotherJones.com, DailyKos.com and NPR’s web site. Fiore’s political animation has appeared on CNN, Frontline, Bill Moyers Journal, Salon.com and cable and broadcast outlets across the globe.\r\n\r\nBeginning his professional life by drawing traditional political cartoons for newspapers, Fiore’s work appeared in publications ranging from the Washington Post to the Los Angeles Times. In the late 1990s, he began to experiment with animating political cartoons and, after a short stint at the San Jose Mercury News as their staff cartoonist, Fiore devoted all his energies to animation.\r\nGrowing up in California, Fiore also spent a good portion of his life in the backwoods of Idaho. It was this combination that shaped him politically. Mark majored in political science at Colorado College, where, in a perfect send-off for a cartoonist, he received his diploma in 1991 as commencement speaker Dick Cheney smiled approvingly.\r\nMark Fiore was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for political cartooning in 2010, a Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award in 2004 and has twice received an Online Journalism Award for commentary from the Online News Association (2002, 2008). Fiore has received two awards for his work in new media from the National Cartoonists Society (2001, 2002), and in 2006 received The James Madison Freedom of Information Award from The Society of Professional Journalists.","avatar":"https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/fc4e2a612b15b67bad0c6f0e1db4ca9b?s=600&d=blank&r=g","twitter":"MarkFiore","facebook":null,"instagram":"https://www.instagram.com/markfiore/?hl=en","linkedin":null,"sites":[{"site":"arts","roles":["contributor"]},{"site":"news","roles":["editor"]},{"site":"futureofyou","roles":["editor"]},{"site":"science","roles":["editor"]}],"headData":{"title":"Mark Fiore | KQED","description":"KQED News Cartoonist","ogImgSrc":"https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/fc4e2a612b15b67bad0c6f0e1db4ca9b?s=600&d=blank&r=g","twImgSrc":"https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/fc4e2a612b15b67bad0c6f0e1db4ca9b?s=600&d=blank&r=g"},"isLoading":false,"link":"/author/markfiore"},"afont":{"type":"authors","id":"8637","meta":{"index":"authors_1591205172","id":"8637","found":true},"name":"Amanda Font","firstName":"Amanda","lastName":"Font","slug":"afont","email":"afont@kqed.org","display_author_email":false,"staff_mastheads":["news"],"title":"KQED Contributor","bio":"Amanda Font is a producer on the \u003cem>Bay Curious\u003c/em> podcast, and the host and co-producer of the series \u003cem>Audible Cosmos\u003c/em>.

Because the truth is that trauma doesn't always leave us. We can heal from it. Sometimes we can shed it, but not always.

And I think people who know the song will recognize the title of this book. It’s this '90s anthem and it really encompasses this sense of rage that Noor feels that is buried very deep.

So much of story is about the arc, about the change and the growth within a character. So to me, it seems like a natural fit to write about young adults. I love writing for children who are at a vulnerable time in their life and to write stories that are, in my mind, realistic but that also offer hope. Because as a young person myself, I really, really needed to see hope in the books that I read.\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"'I love writing for children who are at a vulnerable time in their life and to write stories that are, in my mind, realistic but that also offer hope.'","name":"pullquote","attributes":{"named":{"align":"right","size":"medium","citation":"Sabaa Tahir","label":""},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>I think honesty is really important, showing the messy reality of these kids' lives, both in the struggle but also in the beauty and in the humor — in allowing for a lack of resolution, or a resolution that is perhaps a little bit more ambiguous. Because the truth is that trauma doesn't always leave us. We can heal from it. Sometimes we can shed it, but not always. I wanted to portray that realistically for young people because I don't think young people are always taught how to deal with trauma. And yet young people go through immense amounts of trauma, whether adults want to admit it or not.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>On using music to express Noor's emotions\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>One of the songs that means so much to Noor is \"\u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8-r-V0uK4u0&ab_channel=SmashingPumpkinsVEVO\">Bullet with Butterfly Wings\u003c/a>\" by [The] Smashing Pumpkins. And I think people who know the song will recognize the title of this book. It’s this '90s anthem and it really encompasses this sense of rage that Noor feels that is buried very deep. Another song that Noor loves is by Masuma Anwar called \"\u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bEPenI-2WsA&ab_channel=GaaneShaane\">Tainu Ghul Gayaan\u003c/a>.\" Anwar has this really deep voice and this incredible range.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Noor really struggles to express her feelings. When she speaks out loud, she ends up using short sentences, really having a hard time saying what she means. So one of the reasons why she loves Masuma Anwar so much is because this woman puts so much feeling into a single word.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Anna Leone's song \"Once\" comes up on Noor’s playlist as Noor and Salahudin are driving together, and they've just shared some deep secrets with each other.

There are times when I'm stressing over something, and in the background, I will hear my kids just busting up over something ridiculous.
