Delicious autumn! My very soul is wedded to it, and if I were a bird I would fly about the earth seeking the successive autumns.
George Eliot
Fall for me is collecting leaves any chance I can get, pressing them in big books, and opening up books later to get unexpected little treasure of leaves perfectly flattened, preserved, and bookmark ready!
In the meantime, spotted these on a tree and plucked a few even that were almost ready to fall!
“Not a leaf falls but that He knows it.” – Quran 6:59
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!

Fall is the best! I was walking to class today and the leaves were falling in the wind and it was such a beautiful scene it seemed like a movie! I should grab some leaves to preserve on my next walk, seems like a great idea 🙂
