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.
