Welcome! Thank you for your interest in my work.
I started off in the kidlit book space as a Muslim Book Reviewer years ago. I was a new mother, and I wanted my kids to be proud of their Arab American and Muslim identity, and books were the best way to connect with them at bedtime and help them feel seen.
After collecting and adoring many beautiful books, I remembered my childhood dream of writing books. Could I do it? Could I write a book for kids?
And here I am…years later, writing my own books for young children, seeing my dreams come true, and loving every minute of it!
