New book is coming out in autumn.

2007/05/18-

I am currently working on a children's book called, "TB AWARE" that is written by Rachel von Roeschlaub, a scientist at Cambridge. It is an educational book that teaches how to avoid getting tuberculosis. When Rachel taught science as a volunteer at a Tibetan refugee school in India she witnessed so many children dying with TB every year. This disturbing experience made her commit to create this book. Rachel asked me to draw illustrations for her texts in order to make the book more inviting for the kids to read. I have drawn eleven pieces and those three are a part of them. The foreword is written by Dr. James Watson, a Nobel Prize Laureate who discovered DNA. The book will be donated to all the refugee schools, monasteries and nunneries in India, Nepal and Bhutan this fall.

Wonder Garden & Wonder Talk

Those children's books are now available at Asia Society (725 Park Avenue), WHOLEFOODS at Bowery downtown and ABC Carpet & Homes! They are also available at Rubin Museum of Art and Tibet House Museum.
