It's election season in the US! 

Woot!  

I'm having a conversation about one of my relevant books, Elephant In The Dark - Published by Scholastic - Based on a poem by Rumi

Yes, this is a picture book for children based on a poem by Rumi, the poet who lived in Persia in the war-ridden world of the 13th century.

I'm Mina Javaherbin, and I write books. One of my books is even taught in 4th-grade!
