It’s easy to complain about children. But when we want to express our joy, our love, the words elude us. The feelings are almost so sacred they defy speech. ~ Joan McIntosh
It is He who created you from one soul and created from it its mate that he might dwell in security with her. And when he covers her, she carries a light burden and continues therein. And when it becomes heavy, they both invoke God, their Lord, “If You should give us a good [child], we will surely be among the grateful.” – Quran (7:189).
When I doodle, whether it be swirls or figurines, I am transformed to a world in which my doodles live, and my thoughts become clear. My mind breathes.
I used to teach second grade. Now, I am a Stay-At-Home-Mother to three girls, an Atlanta based children-family-lifestyle photographer, and an author of Lailah’s Lunchbox (Tilbury House Publishing, 2015.) I have two new picture books projected for 2019: Amira's Picture Day (Holiday House, 2019) and Let Me Show You The Way (Eerdmans, 2019)!
Thank you for stopping by!
