Prince Harry and Meghan Markle hosted a storytelling event at the Invictus Games and my books were there <3
![]() Meghan Markle reads to children on sidelines of Invictus Games Good morning 🙂 I hope you’re doing great. The last time I posted here, I mentioned the Invictus Games and the mini library that would host all my bilingual books in 18 languages. Well, something completely unexpected happened. For an independent author like me who publishes her books on her own, it was huge! Here, I’m sharing some photos I received of the mini library before the kick-off of the games. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() And here are some photos from the opening ceremony that I found online. ![]() ![]() ![]() Later, as I was searching online for photos and videos from the Invictus Games, I discovered that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle hosted a storytelling session at that library, where she read the book “All Are Neighbors” by Alexandra Penfold (Author), Suzanne Kaufman (Illustrator), and Knopf Books for Young Readers (Publisher). Can you spot the books I’ve written and published in the background ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() In other news, did you know that International Mother Language Day was celebrated on the 21st of February? ![]() The International School of Piraeus published videos where students shared interesting information about their languages, like this one about Chinese. They also read books I’ve written and published in various languages: Nelly’s Box, Chinese Happiness Street, Ukrainian Where am I from?, Russian ISP and kids, thank you for this honor. I hope you had a lovely day at school ![]() ![]() Finally, we’ve started the process with Vivi Markatos Heinemann/ Vivi Markatos children’s book illustrator and cartoonist. to publish “A Sea of Stars” in new editions (same story) featuring a) a young dad with his toddler girl and b) a young dad with his toddler boy (instead of a mom). Do you like what you see here in the opening scene? We hope that he comes across as a gentle, kind, caring dad who loves deeply his little one. You can reply back to this email if you’d like to and give me your feedback. PS. The artist will try having the kid’s right leg bend over the dad’s arm to make the pose look more natural. That’s all for now. As always, thank you for your support and following my journey in writing and publishing. I wish you a lovely weekend! |
