HA NOI (VNS) — The Youth Publishing House will release a new work by Nguyen Nhat Anh titled Bay Buoc Toi Mua He (Seven Steps to Summer) in early 2015.

The book's launch will kick off a series of events held by the publishing company in March. Seven Steps to Summer will remind readers of their long-lost first loves and childhood summer vacations spent playing games.

The book will be printed with colour illustrations by artist Hoang Tuong.

Anh, 60, is one of Viet Nam's most prolific children's book writers. His works appeal to teenagers and adults, as well as kids.

Anh is also a teacher, poet and journalist. Some of his most popular long stories, like as the 54-volume Kinh Van Hoa, have been adapted into hit TV dramas. — VNS
