[LM_NET] Author looking for families with a parent in the military

[Nicholas Glass <nick@TEACHINGBOOKS.NET>]

I attended IRA last week, and learned of a really interesting project by one
of my favorite authors -- Deborah Ellis (Breadwinner, Parvana and others).
She is looking for families to talk with -- details directly from Deborah
are below if you know of families who are interested.


Deborah Ellis is an award-winning author of books for young people. Her work
has been translated into eighteen languages and is read by kids in more than
twenty countries around the world.

Her current project, Children of Military Families (working title) will
include interviews with and photographs of children whose lives have been
affected by having a parent serving overseas in a situation of conflict.
The premise behind the project is to allow readers to gain a more thorough
understanding of the price paid by families who carry out the orders of
countries that send them to war. She intends to create as full a picture as
possible, reflecting both the struggles, the joys, and the communities of
these families in Canada and the United States.

If you can connect a family to share a story, parents should contact Deborah
Ellis at: delllis@can.rogers.com  519 426-3172  102 Brook Street, ON N3Y 3G5
Canada
