Nalah and the Pink Tiger
The book Nalah and the Pink Tiger was inspired by Anne and Jemiah’s lively little niece. Sawyer-Aitch wrote the story over two years ago, then developed a style which she calls Illuminated Illustration, featuring multiple layers, cut-outs, and backlighting.
In February, 2012, she delivered the last pages to the publisher, Scarletta Press. The book was launched on March 17th, 2012 at In the Heart of the Beast Puppet and Mask Theatre.
Anne has also created a puppet show based on the book, and will be performing it around the metro area in libraries and local independent book stores.
Visit the Nalah and the Pink Tiger website to order the book and view the performance schedule.
