Featured in the Society of Illustrators' The Original Art 2021 exhibition

 
By Shahzia Sikander and Amy Novesky. Illustrated by Hanna Barczyk
 
Growing up in Lahore, Pakistan, Shahzia flew kites, ate fruit from jamun trees, and devoured Russian fairy tales, American Westerns, and Bollywood films. She also read poetry in Urdu, her own language, and learned the slow and detailed painting technique of Indo-Persian miniatures. And when she moved far from home to study art, she brought her roots with her.
 
Roots and Wings is a deeply personal story about how an artist grows. It is based on the childhood of Shahzia Sikander, one of the most exciting and celebrated artists working today. 40 pp.; illustrated throughout.
