Parents can personalize the book by easily inserting photos of their children, family members, pets and significant others. The kids can lift flaps on each page to see who is sitting inside an assortment of cars, a pickup truck and a big yellow school bus.
What’s more telling is the story behind the storybook.
The authors are an Irvine couple, Varuzhan “John” Khachatryan, a musician, and Zuma Ayriyan, an immigration lawyer. The inspiration is John and Zuma’s youngest son, Alex, 5, who has autism.
“Look Who Is Coming” earned special mention in this month’s issue of Parenting Magazine along with two other books as “helpful new titles” out in time for Autism Awareness Month.

Every month we receive write-ups on hundreds of new products. Some are totally awesome and some, not so great. We’ve spent a great deal of time weeding out the ridiculous and the duds – here are our picks for some of the best holiday gifts for 2009!
$25 and Under
“Look Who Is Coming…”:
Reading and learning gets personal with “Look Who is Coming…”. “Look Who Is Coming…”, is a charming, interactive tale that is personalized for each child via the inclusion of photos of friends, family and other special people in the child’s life.
Designed for children ages 8 months and up, “Look Who is Coming…” allows your child to take the starring role in the storytelling and is the perfect book to incorporate friends, family, favorite animals and more by simply sliding a photo into the built-in tabs.
Everyone from teachers to mothers and grandmothers love the interactive element of this book. “With this book, a child is given the opportunity to essentially, create his or her own story. By using the unique approach of personalizing through photos, this book not only helps children identify colors, objects, and numbers, it also presents a whole new method of learning that is both practical and fun,” says Elizabeth Pernik, long-time educator and grandmother of 3.
Experience the simplistic beauty of the illustrations as “Look Who is Coming…” stimulates your child and contributes to his or her development. “Look Who Is Coming…” will encourage your child to count, identify people, objects and colors and develop facial recognition and fine motor skills while following different friends along the way.
“Look Who is Coming…” retails for $13.99.

Thank you for coming to the Book Festival. It was such a fun day! So many people came to browse books and meet the authors and illustrators; and we were so excited to be there among such extraordinary exhibitors. But most of all, we loved meeting you in person and signing your books! We made so many new friends and are so happy to contribute in making a difference in the lives of the youngest readers.
Looking forward to many more adventures to come!
With Love,
