The One & Only Googoosh

Praise

★ “Westergaard’s highly dimensional collage work, patterned and embellished with block prints, brush pens, and colored pencil, leans into portraiture and stage scenes in this ode to a beloved figure—’our one and only/ Googoosh.'” —Publishers Weekly, starred review

★ ”More than just a loving tribute to one particular singer, this is a rich concoction of immigrant yearning . . . A radiant love letter to a treasured artist—and to a long gone way of life.” —Kirkus Reviews, starred review

“This picture-book biography offers loving tribute, not only to Googoosh’s career but to pre-revolutionary Iran, as the author shares childhood memories of favorite foods, sights, and sounds, including dancing and singing with friends to Googoosh’s latest releases. This is a lovely celebration on an iconic performer.” —Booklist

“Enticing glimpses of both a country’s troubled history and of a cultural icon who will be new to most young audiences.” —School Library Journal
