Dear all,
I wanted to let you know that my daughter Jasmine will be discussing and signing her newest book, a middle grade book in verse, at Joseph Beth in Cincinnati June 1 at 2:00 pm. I have attached a flyer for the event below. Please feel free to copy and distribute the flyer anywhere you like.
The pre publication period for the book is going great (four starred critical reviews so far, an Indie Next top ten selection, a Project Lit Book Club pick middle grade selection, and a Jr library guild selection!!) She is going to be on NPR the week of the book’s release (May 28th).
We would love to see you there and thank you so so much for your continued support of Jasmine’s career!!!
Mohammad Nazek
PS: the book is available for pre order through Amazon books.
