✨✨Cover Reveal✨✨ We have a feast for the imagination launching this summer! ✨ ✨ BRAVE WITH BEAUTY: A STORY OF AFGHANISTAN is a portrait of the extraordinary Queen Goharshad, a 15th century monarch, who many historians believe to be one of the most powerful women in world history. Ruling from the Timurid artistic and cultural center of Herat in western Afghanistan, Queen Goharshad ushered in a remarkable, rare period when poetry, music, calligraphy, painting and the sciences flourished as never before. ✨ ✨ We are honored to bring her story to life with poetic storytelling by Maxine Rose Schur and stunning art by Patricia Grush, Robin Dewitt, and Golsa Yaghoobi. ✨ 🧕🏼 👸🏾 ✨ #diversebooks #princess #muslimqueen #islamichistory #weneeddiversebooks #afghanistan #picturebookbiography #readyourworld

When my characters cry and smile, I do the same. During the making of Mina, a friend of mine was visiting me in Singapore and one morning she found me talking to Mina and thought I am completely crazy. Ha ha…it took me a while to explain her I am not. . .
