A book titled, “The unforgettable trip to drumheller and other stories” by Mishanli Easteryna Yanthan was launched by Hope Academy administrator Sashila Ozukum on October 24 at Dimapur.
A press release by the organisers stated that, while congratulating the author, Sashila Ozukum expressed her joy in celebrating Mishanli’s work as she made her mark as the youngest author of Heritage Publishing House at the age of 8. Dr. Adela Meo in her book review mentioned that the book was eye catching and well illustrated, especially for children who cannot yet read, or are in the early stages of learning to read. The illustrations by Puloto Chishi have exciting colors and have a cartoony touch which can catch young readers.
Mishanli, a grade 3 student at Hope Academy said she wrote the book to fulfill her dream of visiting the famous dinosaur museum, namely The Royal Tyrrell Museum in Drumheller Canada. She said that no matter how young or old, one can always dream and not be afraid to follow the dreams.
