— From Hannah Eliot’s Ramadan


 


From Saffron Ice Cream: “Turns out chocolate crunch is a pretty good flavor too.
I can’t wait to write and tell Azadeh all about it.”

Last week over at Kirkus, I chatted here with illustrator Rashin Kheiriyeh about her two brand-new books, Hannah Eliot’s Ramadan (Little Simon/Simon & Schuster, April 2017) and Saffron Ice Cream (Levine/Scholastic, May 2018). Rashin has published over 60 books in countries all over the world. Saffron Ice Cream is the first book she has both illustrated and written in English.

I’m following up here today with art from each book.

Enjoy!



 

From Saffron Ice Cream:


 


“Oh, not just to ANY beach — I mean to an American beach. In Brooklyn.
That’s where I live now.”

“The beach in Brooklyn is called Coney Island. We’re getting there by subway train,
which is filled with all sorts of people — and ALSO has music. But no Azadeh.”
