Մուշի տարօրինակ ճամփորդությունը (Moush's Strange Journey) is my first book as an author-illustrator, published in 2023 by Newmag, Yerevan. A huge thank you to the Newmag team for an extraordinary launch — book fairs, festivals, a morning television appearance, and more events than Moush himself could have imagined.
The book club discussion with the drawing session was organised by Զանգակ bookstore in Yerevan, long after I had returned to Brisbane. Apparently, the children had a lot of questions. And opinions. And look, they know exactly how my Pspsik (Whispuss — in my English translation) looks.
And, yes – English edition, titled Open Doors Day, is in the works. The manuscript is complete and is currently seeking a publisher. Some of the interior illustrations can be viewed here.

Happy snaps from the book's extraordinary journey — Yerevan International Book Fest, Eraz Summer Fest, and Զանգակ bookstore's Տարբեր Ակումբ (Different Club) children's book club.
My son and granddaughter figured it all out, although it wasn’t an easy one
An a big THANK YOU goes to Mika – Moush's first and most critical reader
