New Children’s Graphic Novel Book signing at The Book Loft

Bookstore

Vahid Imani, is to hold book signing for “Naji and the mystery of the dig, the
Graphic Novel” just in time for spring break reading.

The Graphic Novel is based on his award-winning middle graders chapter book with the
same title. To celebrate the graphic novel’s debut, Vahid Imani will be holding a book
signing at the Book Loft bookstore in Solvang on Saturday, March 4, from 2:00pm –
4:00pm.

Based on a true story, this graphic novel takes the reader on a suspense-filled exploration
of Persian culture as Naji learns that sometimes, the best adventures are waiting right
under your nose. Unlike a typical graphic novel, Naji and the mystery of the dig includes
a list of study projects, and discussion questions that will encourage the readers to
explore.

“It was thrilling to hear so many children who have read the book, asking for a graphic
novel version. After two years of development, I am excited to have this graphic novel
available. The story helps children enjoy moments of commonality between different
cultures. Love, fear, laughter, honor, respect, and even enjoying delicious food are just a
few common factors that relate us humans to each other,” says Imani. “Our world
becomes more peaceful when we all experience joy together. Naji and the mystery of the
dig is a small step toward a much larger leap that we humans need to take.”

Encouraging children to dig for more information, in addition to the study section at the
end of the book, children, parents and teachers can find fun activities and educational
materials on the website dedicated to this book: www.najistories.com
