Nouneh Sarkissian, author of children’s book The Magic Buttons, has been featured in Kensington, Chelsea and Westminster Today. 

The article talks of Nouneh’s life, of her strict upbringing in a communist regime and her staunch love of words. The article by Kate Hawthorne says of The Magic Buttons: 

It is an enchanting and creative tale, packed full of the sorts of stories, mysteries and happenings that children love to hear about. The process of reading, and being read to, will find a natural home here and imaginations heightened as the text brings intrigue and vision to the reader.

What more can you want; a story about people turning blue because of a Blue Magical Powder. Who IS going to find the cure? Tiny little people as your friends. Witches good and bad whose powers are robbed from them at an International witches’ and wizards’ conference. A forest packed full of more magic. Izzi Berton a villain who holds a book of all human secrets, and yes, the Magic Buttons and all that they can do.

 

The Magic Buttons is translated from Armenia and is Nouneh Sarkissian’s first UK publication, and is suitable for 8 to 12 year olds. You can purchase The Magic Buttons from Quartet Books here, or buy it on Amazon here.
