Elisa Sednaoui is a former Franco-Egyptian-Italian model living in the United States. For around ten years, through the Funtasia Foundation, she has devoted herself specifically to educational issues.
She produced a book, co-written with Paolo Borzacchiello, intended for children over 11 years old and their parents. The most difficult thing was to be sure that the expressions and language used were those of today's teenagers, that they recognized themselves, and not to come across as a has-been. The book is available now from funtasia.org and is available in English, French and Spanish.
