Nabila Khashoggi is the author of the Spartan & the Green Egg series of books, whose proceeds from sales go in part to support a nonprofit organization helping children in areas of extreme poverty around the world. Inspiring young readers to develop a thirst for travel, a respect for different cultures, and to view themselves as part of a larger global community, this unique series of graphic novels for children hopes to nurture a kindness for the planet and all who live on it. As a child, Nabila traveled extensively with her parents and has brought that love of travel and discovery to the 10 book series. To date, four books have been released with more planned in the immediate future. “I’ve never witnessed more generosity and willingness to help than I have with children,” says Khashoggi, “and if given the chance, our children will make our world a better place.” Khashoggi hopes that in some small part, her series can help nurture that giving spirit that all children seem to have. Spartan & the Green Egg graphic novels is being embraced both nationally and internationally, both as leisure reading and in the classroom. To support the books a wide range of accessories, such as world flag pins and collectible stickers go along with the book. A video game, trailers, games and puzzles are also some of the additional fare that accompany the book. Through her Explorer’s Club, based on the series, readers are able to become involved, which, Nabila adds, builds a solid foundation for the future health of the planet, and the many cultures that share it. Nabila currently lives in New York with her husband and two sons.
