WIN $150 GIFT VOUCHERS: ALADDIN'S GOLD
Ashley Benham-Yazdani is the author-illustrator of A Green Place to Be. About this book, which she worked on while pregnant with her second child, she says, “Our long-term comet visitor has seen many of the discoveries, wonders, and, sadly, numerous tragedies of humanity, including our devastating impact on the planet. In all of its visits, one thing has been unchanging: the human hope that our children’s lives would be better, safer, happier than our own.” Ashley Benham-Yazdani lives with her family in Davis, California.
The book would make an ideal addition to school libraries where children with wide ranging interests and teachers with challenging new curriculums to teach will all find it indispensable. It’s perfect for home reading too for all those budding space scientists! * Armadillo Magazine * At every turn of the page, Ashley Benham-Yazdani’s luminescent, mixed media illustrations show the soft-edged comet shooting across an inky wash sky and gorgeous scenes of the happenings on Earth through the ages. This is a truly thought-provoking precis of human history from an unusual perspective that makes it all the more powerful. * Red Reading Hub *
