“Achilles Won’t Take a Bath” Charming New Picture Book by Teenage Author

April 17, 2018 by Nancy Piccione

I thought my headline was both descriptive and engaging. Also, the teenager in question is my middle daughter, so you can imagine I’m very proud.

We just received her review copies in the mail today, and so she gave me permission to share it. I will take some photos of inside pages and more details of how she decided to write and illustrate it, to share on this post  later, but dinner prep awaits…

From the description of Achilles Won’t Take a Bath: 

Introduce a new generation to Homer’s Iliad in this epic inspired children’s book! Read along with Achilles and his teddy bear Patroclus as they deal with bathtime in this charming retelling. Written by a student of the classics, each illustration contains references to the Iliad – which makes this book great for adults as well! With endearing drawings, and amusing characters, this book is an excellent modern twist on an ancient tale.
