Congratulations to illustrator Benjamin Johnston on the publication of
Ling Li’s Lantern
written by Steve Heron and published for 4-12 year old readers in hardback
by MidnightSun Publishing
Ling Li’s Lantern is a Chinese culture inspired picture book about a young girl and her two brothers who are sent on a quest by her father. Through the story we discover about caring and the essence of true wisdom.
This is a true SCBWI success story. Steve and Ben first met at the SCBWI conference in 2014. Fast forward to 2019 and when Steve's manuscript was accepted by MidnightSun, he asked if Ben could be the illustrator!
How marvellous to know that a connection made through SCBWI has led to such a productive partnership!
