Make Way For our Third Armenian Children's Book!

If the last four months have shown us anything, it's that there is no guarantee of survival for Armenia in its existing state. While we catch our breath from the most tragic period of modern-day Armenian history, and we're challenged with continuing the fight -- the fight to keep our land, to secure our borders, to support Armenians of Artsakh who have had their lives uprooted -- I'm reminded that my goal has always been to promote Armenian literacy and to protect the longevity of our language.

It's with this in mind that I'm proud to announce my upcoming third Armenian Children's Book, Anoush Koon, Pari Yeraz (Անուշ Քուն, Բարի Երազ).

The title, Anoush Koon, Pari Yeraz, which translates to 'sweet sleep, good dream,' is a traditional Armenian goodnight wish that my maternal grandmother used when I was a child, and I now use it every night with my own children. After having a few weeks of challenging nighttime routines at home, it was clear to me that I was destined to write a book about going to bed. In this book, Nabasdag, struggles to focus on all the tasks at hand that will lead to a prompt bedtime and a restful sleep. There's playing and drawing, laughing and singing, drinking water and then more water and then even more water(!), but no sleep. Like my own children, Nabasdag is adorable, lovable, and full of spirit. Hopefully they will all get to bed on time more often.

Anoush Koon, Pari Yeraz (Անուշ Քուն, Բարի Երազ) is now available for pre-order (shipping in April). ​
