MIA recommends The Blue JackalCanadian artist Charlene Kasdorf visited the Museum of Islamic Art (MIA) Library this week and posed with The Blue Jackal by author Frances Gillespie, which is the children’s book she illustrated. Charlene’s beautiful illustrations draw on ancient Islamic artwork and objects in MIA as inspiration. There are exciting illustrations for each of the tales in the book. Several copies are available for reading in the newly revamped Children’s Library at MIA.
