Children's Book Looking For a Publisher

I just put the last touches to a dummy of my children's book, My World: The Sahara Desert, which illustrates with photographs the life and culture of Ataka, a little Tuareg girl, and her family. Her story, as published by Highlights for Children magazine, earned me the 2011 Author of the Year Award. It is now  looking for a book publisher.

Je viens de terminer la maquette de mon livre pour enfants titré Mon Univers : Le Sahara. Ses photos illustrent la culture et  vie quotidienne d’Ataka, une petite fille touarègue, et de sa famille. Son histoire, publiée dans Highlights, un magazine  pour enfants, m’a valu le prix d’auteur de l’année 2011. Elle cherche maintenant un éditeur de livres.
