DINARA MIRTALIPOVA: ORIGINAL ART SHOW

More great awards news! Dinara Mirtalipova‘s illustrations for Leila in Saffron were accepted into The Original Art Show at the Society of Illustrators. The exhibition, The Original Art: Celebrating the Fine Art of Children's Book Illustration, opens tonight – Thursday, November 14th, 6-9pm – at the Society of Illustrators (128 E. 63rd St.) in New York City.

Leila in Saffron, published by Zareen Jaffery’s new Simon & Schuster Children’s Publishing imprint Salaam Reads, is the story of a shy young girl who discovers all the things that make her special. Dinara’s illustrations capture both the gentle tenderness of the love between a girl and her grandmother, and the exuberant colors, patterns and energy of their rich culture. Written by Rukhsanna Guidroz, Leila in Saffron was released in June 2019.
