We are so pleased to announce a brand-new picture book deal for The Comet by author-illustrator Ashley Benham-Yazdani.
In her first deal as an agent at JGLM, Jessica Saint Jean sold world rights to Candlewick, who published Benham-Yazdani’s debut picture book, A Green Place to Be, in March 2019. Publication for The Comet is currently planned for Spring 2023.
