SUMMARY:Ashley Benham-Yazdani at The Avid Reader
DESCRIPTION:Find wonder in the sky with Ashley Benham-Yazdani’s newest children’s book: Cosmic Wonder! Join us on January 27th at 11:00AM to celebrate this children’s book by a local author. \nAbout the AuthorAshley Benham-Yazdani is a picture book author/illustrator and nature lover. She is passionate about arts education and has taught illustration courses at the Maryland Institute College of Art\, and at Towson University. Her debut book\, A Green Place to Be\, is currently available from Candlewick Press and can be found at your local bookstore. Her tools of the trade are watercolors\, colored pencils\, and Photoshop\, but she also enjoys embroidery\, block printing\, and screen printing. When not pushing pigment or pixels around\, Ashley can be found reading\, knitting\, or running around in the great outdoors. She lives in Davis\, CA with her husband and their two children.\nAbout Cosmic Wonder\nFirst recorded traveling overhead in 240 BCE\, Halley’s Comet returns every seventy-six years or so for a fresh glimpse of life on bountiful Earth. In a wondrous story told from the comet’s point of view\, the creator of A Green Place to Be weaves scenes of Halley’s hurtling through space with views of Earth and its evolving flora and fauna below. Even as humans gaze up in search of the celestial wanderer—tracking the “broom star” in words and pictures—the comet gazes down\, forming gentle conclusions. Each visit reveals how curious and creative humans transform the planet\, contributing war and pollution but also a boundless capacity to love. What will the comet find when it passes again in 2061? Time stamps and thorough back matter ground a lyrical and luminously illustrated story in sound historical and scientific research. A kaleidoscope of biodiversity\, locales\, and peoples\, Cosmic Wonder gracefully charts the highs and lows of human civilization through the eyes of a sympathetic watcher.
