The long-awaited animated movie will launch at festivals in fall 2017, with wide release in Spring 2018 (from Cartoon Saloon, directed by Nora Twomey, executive produced by Mimi Polk Gitlin and Angelina Jolie).
This edition will contain an eight-page color insert with stills from the movie.
The Breadwinner’s track record speaks for itself — we’ve printed more than 712,114 copies for North America since publication in 2000; more than two million copies of the series have sold worldwide.
The Breadwinner series was inspired by the stories Deborah Ellis heard and the children she met in Afghan refugee camps in Pakistan.
The Breadwinner is a gripping story that gives young readers insight into the people and recent events in Afghanistan.
Deborah is a warm, dynamic speaker who is invited all over the world to talk to adult and young audiences.
Deborah remains prolific, and her writing is stronger than ever. Her books continue to receive critical acclaim (No Ordinary Day was a Governor General’s Award finalist and The Cat at the Wall was selected for Cooperative Children’s Book Center Choices and Bank Street College of Education’s Best Children’s Books of the Year). Deb has a short-story collection and a novel forthcoming from Groundwood.
